I would also suspect that there is a larger profit margin for the
producer and retailer as you can get a larger price for a larger
locomotive.

One way to generate manufacturer interest is to find "virtual copies"
of what you want - in other words, find a locomotive that is nearly a
duplicate.
For instance, for the 2-10-4, the B&LE 2-10-4's are very close.
For other examples, the D&RGW & MP 2-8-2's, the D&RGW, WP & MP
2-8-0's, the D&RGW & WP 4-6-0's , the D&RGW, UP & CRR 4-6-6-4's, the
D&RGW & N&W 2-8-8-2's, the N&W & D&RGW 2-6-6-2's, D&RGW & Milw
4-8-4's, D&RGW & DL&W 4-8-4's, etc.
You'll note that the Challenger has been produced a few
times. Trains and NKP brought out the 4-6-0's and 2-8-0's. Of
course, that means you also have to find drawings - but if the road
has an active HS, they can usually point you to a source - and it is
in their interest as well.
