Chinese Steam Locomotives

Off the wall question - I know that bachmann made a 2-10-2 QJ locomotives in HO and so far I have not seen any Chinese steam locomotives in N. But with all the guys that do 3d printing, I don’t think this is a problem any more but is there any erection drawings of Chinese steam engines? I’ve done quite a bit of googling but I don’t know if we have any friends here on the rail wire that are able to access something like this? I think most of the Chinese engines are close to Alco engines, so nothing is to unusual

There are Chinese model train manufacturers (after all most train models for the entire world are made in China too) who make H0 and N scale models of Chinese prototype trains, but other than eBay I have not found a source of Chinese prototype models.

There are models of Chinese locos (steam, traction, diesel) and rolling stock out there.  Couple of years ago I picked up (on eBay) a model of Chinese diesel loco in N scale.  The seller's store is https://www.ebay.com/str/rinlammodeltrainshop .  Models are nice and also pricey.

Thank you, it seems like it starts to get a little weird diving into some of the mandarin websites and google translate, i was hoping there would be a slightly easier solution but I am not sure there is. i will continue to look.
