The Airfix one is the only kit one I know of. The tracks are too short and require you to move either the idler wheel or drive sprocket inward on each side to give enough room for the tracks to be mounted and sag. You can look for one on eBay or at any well stocked online shop.

I built one years ago and wrote an article about it: http://ebasic.easily.co.uk/05800C/03D03B/sheridan.htm

There’s also a Roco pre-built one, more easily obtained at European hobby shops than in the US. It is slightly smaller at 1/87 scale. http://www.internethobbies.com/romi1m5shpau.html
