The last Santa Fe 2-10-10-2 I remember seeing was a Westside brass import, from around twenty or thirty years ago, and even then it was REALLY expensive. You might check with Caboose Hobbies in Denver --www.caboosehobbies.com--they have an unusually large selection of used and consignment brass.
I don't ever remember seeing a model of the large-drivered 2-6-6-2 or the original ATSF 2-8-8-2's. I know that WAY back in the 1950's there was a modeler named Bill Schopp who wrote articles for Railroad Model Craftsman on how to kit-bash brass locomotives into some Santa Fe mallet prototypes--back when brass was fairly affordable. He bashed a 2-8-8-2 from two PFM 1950 series Consolidations, and it looked really good. I don't know if those articles are available,but you might contact RMC and ask. Historically, Santa Fe's involvement with mallets was short-lived and largely unsuccessful. But again, if these locomotives were ever available, they'd be brass imports and probably pretty rare.
The only Santa Fe 2-8-8-2 I know of being currently modeled is the Proto, and those are the locos that Santa Fe bought second-hand from N&W during WWII for helper service on Raton Pass. I understand that the latest run of the Proto's has improved pulling power--boy,I HOPE so, LOL!
