As Ed says, often the choice is made by research at hand, or the personal preference of the manufacturer. In many cases, an alternate project is just not in the cards.
If you don't want a pacific, then there is no point in thinking about it. If it is a matter of the SPECIFIC prototype, I suggest taking a longer look at the model and at the locomotives on your prototype. It may be that with a few detail changes and some paint and decals you would have a usable engine. While few steam locomotives are exactly the same, many are similar enough that this could be a potential stand-in. Don't be put off just by the advertised road name. Pieter E.
