Does anyone know where to find a HO scale model of this loco?http://history.nevadanorthernrailway.net/rosterpics/No80elec.html
I think it is a GE Steeple Cab but I’m not sure. I know Canonball Car Shops made a kit a while ago to make one from a Bachmann 44 ton but is there anything else still in production? Any help will be appreciated. [:D]
Thanks,

The Cannonball Car Works model is based on a 65 ton GE that was used by small industrial or interurban railroads. The KCC engine is much larger(look at the trucks/frame). Note that the carbody sits higher and the pilots/end platforms are attached to the trucks. Maybe KCC had smaller steeple cabs as well. I built one of the CCW kits - it used the old Bachmann 44T drive(the one with dual motors). The current Bachmann production uses a single motor(and runs better), but the steeple cab kit will not fit over it very well.
