John --
Challenger (CIL) imported some M4As several years back. They sold out
pretty quickly, and I haven't seen one on the used brass market since.
Expect to pay a bundle for it IF you can find one. That said, I think
there's little disagreement that it's one of the most beautiful,
exquisitely detailed, accurate, powerful and smooth-running models of
a Burlington steam engine ever produced.
