Do internal gear/freewheel hubs still exist?

I was looking at a classic touring bike of 50+ years ago, which had a close-gear 3 speed S/A hub with a 3-speed freewheel and a 2-speed front derailleur. For it's day, this was an incredible gear collection.

I know that there was a Nexus 3speed internal with a 7 speed cassette, but this combo required a 135mm dropout spacing. I'm looking for something that will fit in a 126mm, maybe even a 130mm spacing. Does anything like this exist today?
