wkennerley Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi All, I am looking for a co-co diesel loco in HO/OO that has roughly the following dimensions - centre-centre of axles in each bogie around 23-27mm and total distance between outer axles of whole loco around 153mm - Could I ask anyone who has diesel locos (any country I am only going to use the chassis for a scratchbuilt body) to check their locos to see if any come close please. The plan is to build a Rhodesia Railways DE1 loco in Sn42 (Sn3.5) - many thanks Wayne Rhod Rwys DE1 p01 by Wayne, on Flickr Rhod Rwys DE1 p02 by Wayne, on Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Oh crumbs! That ambitious and an ask! As it doesn't matter what it is because it's only a donor, it's not really about the prototype dimensions so much as the model ones- suddenly all those inaccurate models come into their own. I think I'd start with a Dapol Deltic repop or an old 'Hornby' Cl 47 and attack it with a baby hacksaw! I guess you'll be doing such major surgery that you might as well start with anything, oh and a wholesale account for plastrut. I salute you (which means I'm not brave enough) but I'd follow this with interest in you undertake it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I've only just noticed that the bogies are assymetric which doesn't help. I don't know any locos like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XL929 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hi, I'm afraid I do not have any dimensions but I do know that the East German electric loco class DR250 (Now classified as BR155 under DB ownership) have an asymmetric Co-Co bogie arrangement. There are models in HO by Roco and Gutzold. Hope this might help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
