Models for the Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad

I need your help listing all available equipment for the Toledo and Ohio Central in all scales.
I am somewhat familar with what is available in O scale and S scale, but have very little knowledge of other scales.

Terry Link has a NYC Freight Car roster which lists corresponding HO scale models. T&OC, K&M, and Z& cars are listed (and included below).

?? 55 ton hopper cars Micro-Trains Line N ?? Appears to be a special run that is no longer available.
Two Toledo & Ohio Central hoppers numbered 28348 and 28454 are included as part of Micro-Trains special run "The Vanderbilt Dynasty" and also includes two Cincinnati Northern hoppers numbered 1053 and 1062.
A note on an eBay listing had "The hoppers are printed correctly by Micro-Trains with the proper New York Central Lines herald, correct data, location and lettering for these sub-divisions" - I have not seen these to verify this.

???  USRA Light Mikado Bowser  HO    
6-48036  New York Central USRA Light Mikado Lionel S 599.99 There has been sporadic talk of a kit to convert it to scale.
Although some of the detail is oversized (handrails, stanchions, bell cord, and of course the wheel flanges) the overall look is excellent.
Carl Tuveson has an AF-oriented review.
???  Baldwin 2-8-0 Weaver  O 495.00-595.00 Gary Stuebben comments that compared to the T&OC pictures in Stauffer's "NYC Early Power" book, starting at page 317, the Weaver boiler is too small - no known T& prototype
20-3142-1 PRR H3 2-8-0 MTH  O 699.95 an 1885 design; the Z&W received 6 second-hand from PRR in 1904, most Altoona-built in 1879 and 1882 - not sure how similar these are
