@Harry's Trains the Heavy Mikado upper boiler was new.  The entire lower half, including the tiny backwards motor was reused from the Light Mikado (which was originally a K-Line mold.)

@Landsteiner I think you're right.  The Reading T1 was probably the last new steam loco.  They re-used a few pieces from the Milwaukee S3, because the boxpok wheel pattern isn't exactly right for a T1, and the rear truck is definitely the same as the S3.  So it was mostly new.  That was in 2016, four years ago.  So maybe we're due !!
