EXTERNAL: O Scale LC-1 or LC-2

[NW Modeling List]

<div style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px;">           Tom,<br>
       The most approaching european loco for the LC1 is the Be 4/6 CFF/SBB (swiss).‌ 1BB1 in european mode, 2442 in white mode.<br>
        (see attached drawing of this locomotive)<br>
       Just a hint about distances between wheels for the Be 4/6 :<br>
           Trailing Wheel : TW<br>
           Driving wheel : DW<br>
<br>
         TW 1900mm DW 3300mm DW 3100mm DW 3300mm DW 1900 mm TW ;     (1900mm = 1,9 meters about 6,33 feet)<br>
         Wheel base length : 13 500mm ; I'm not familiar with inches and feet...<br>
<br>
         I do not know if the model exists in O scale ; the best way is to have a glance on Ricardo website for second-hand ones.<br>

The closest thing to an LC-1 set would be one of the European electric locos, if an O-scale model was made of the right prototype. (I have seen HO models of the similar European locos, but just don't pay much attention to European or O-scale models.) The Europeans did have electrics with the jackshafts between the driver axles on both ends of the loco. I don't know how the axle spacings compare. If they were produced on O-scale, you would have to fabricate a new body. Not sure about the roof or pantographs.<br>
<br>
I'm less sure about an LC-2 set. Here again, the Europeans may have had locos with similar drive arrangements, but I can't recall seeing any.<br>
<br>
What I'm sure of is that no O-scale N&W or VGN squareheads were produced, and there were no LC-2 sets done in HO scale either.<br>

Does anyone know if an LC-1 or LC-2 locomotive was ever produced in O Scale?<br>
<br>
Are there variants that were produced for other railroads that could be used as a good starting point to kit bash?<br>
