There were others, but models are almost impossible to find. AHM/Rivarossi modeled this locomotive some years ago in HO scale, and if all you’re looking for is the cab section, you might try the used market. In the USA SP “cab forwards” are commonly available on eBay at various price points and conditions. Sometimes just a shell becomes available, or a non-working model. EBay inventory changes constantly and you may have to look there multiple days before finding what you’re willing to buy.
