“I would be in favor of historically-accurate replicas. These would be real steam engines.”
Of course, what other kind is there? My point is that it may be less expensive to build a 2-8-0 with a straight boiler that a 2-6-0 with a wagon top boiler. Wagon top boilers, especially the ones with flattened sides are a major pain compared to a boiler that resembles a stove pipe.
