Are there any steam locomotive plastic model kits out there?

I see Revell makes a Big Boy 4014 in 1:87 scale.

I was hoping there was something out there that was a larger scale and had a little more detail. Like 1:48 or 1:35 scale.

I normall build cars, but I thought it would be fun to build a locomotive.
 
There is one locomotive kit called The General that I built in my early teen years and I've been looking for another at a reasonable price…

I have that model kit. I bought it 35 - 40 years ago, still in the box with all parts in their sealed plastic bags. I'm about to get started on it but have asked about the best type of glue that's available these days. Best of luck with your search!
