This caption appears to confirm that.

I also checked my Canadian Trackside Guide and it confirms it's an American.

Now I need to find one of those Stewart Models 25 ton Americans that @Jim Starbuck motorized a couple of years go - which seem to be made of Unobtanium . . .

Railway Express Miniatures did a high cab American model at one time.
I can’t speak to the accuracy or quality of the model though as I’ve never had one.

@Jim Starbuck that model has the cab fully above the body. It’s also got tracks. Might be bashable if I can find one - they seem to be as rare as the others.

Yeah, the REM model is much smaller. I just thought of that one because one came up on eBay.
Other than the Stewart kit, the only non brass rail crane that I know of that’s available is the 3d printed Ohio model offered on Etsy from  Baldylox Designs. It’s a beautiful model but not the prototype you’re looking for.
