How many FTs are available in N scale? Intermountain and Micro-Trains have both done them. Intermountain and Model Power have both done FP7s. Bachmann and Kato have both done F7s. Atlas and Bachmann have both done H16-44s, albeit with different body styles.

Other than both having six axles the ES44AC and SD70ACe look nothing alike. That's like saying a GP30 and U25B are practically identical. Simply put, there are more moder modelers willing to shell out for modern power so that's where the production dollars are going. You'll get your high-nose GP30s someday, if you convince enough friends to model the Southern of the late 1960s.
