Hi
On the assumption this was a regular production loco.
The reason you cannot get one is probably the company is gone or
the dies are cactus and new dies where never made.
To days models are pretty high on details that just where not there 10 years
ago
So new dies would be very expensive and there would have to be a water tight guarantee that sales would get into the profit zone.

A model railway can be completed but its never finished

One thing that always stands out on those RIVAROSSI HO 4-6-4 HUDSON  STREAMLINED locomotives.  The NYC .  It is too bad that they didn't do them right.  I the real world, it is too bad that only one hudson with the 84 inch drives was saved, and that is  Santa Fe 3463.
