Before a 2-6-2, which was not a popular prototype loco, we need a Spectrum 2-6-0, a much more useful loco.
2-6-2 Not popular? Bite 'yer tongue and check out the Wabash Class G-1 Prairies at:

Then there are the CB&Q Class R1 - R5 Prairies, NYC Class J40 & J41, Milw K-1's, and don't forget those Santa Fe units mentioned by others earlier in this thread.
At least IHC has been doing a reasonable 2-6-0 for a while. There hasn't been a decent 2-6-2 made in years.
