Just a general question. I’ve been looking for a couple of HO scale locos and it seems that there are almost none to be found, with the exception of the very expensive one. Is there any reason why this is?
You are not looking very hard. Google HO scale steam engines. There are some nice ones out there under $100 and a little over with DCC and some with sound. I have some.
You would do better to post in the Model Railroader forum.
