LGB 2045 RhB 2/4 Conversion

I've always liked boxy locos and the RhB 2/4 (LGB 2045) electric loco is a good example. My railway has no overhead and wanting an old style diesel I decided to convert an LGB 2045 which I had bought secondhand into a diesel-electric Bo-Bo. The 2045 underframe was discarded (it was full of holes drilled in it to let a speaker let noise out anyway!) and the body mounted on two powered LGB tender underframes as bogies. A side window was replaced with a radiator from an LGB White Pass loco. The centre section of the roof is from an LGB 3062 coach. It looks a bit quirky with the cab roof profile different from the middle but the Woodhead route 1500 volt EM2's were a bit like this. The loco has a working fan motor on the roof which came from a computer.

It is not popular with the Drivers because of alleged draughty cabs which may be due to the fact that to accommodate the raised motor section of the tender undeframes it does not possess cab floors!Boxcab Bo-Bo (2).jpg
