The Strasburg Railroad still builds its own Baker Heaters. A true Baker heater circulates its hot water totally by convection, but I believe that the Strasburg's have helper pumps.
The last time I had a full Vapor catalog, while working at Steamtown in the late 80's, they still cataloged the Baker heater. It is not all that difficult a device to fabricate, anyone who could build a live steam locomotive could build a Baker Heater.
