Can anyone tell me what locos were used to make these kitbashed centercabs?



I had these to compare with:
B-man 44-tonner
B-man 70 tonner
B-man 3 axle Plymouth
Athearn Hustler
Revell Hustler-looking loco
AHM 2 axle Plymouth

None seem to have been used for parts. Any idea of what else might have been used?

It's the slope of the hoods messing things up!

Leaning that way Ken. The high cab version has windows over the hood, so perhaps this is a low clearance version That Hypo has in those pics. He sent them to me cause I so love "Critters" I think you could model them and nothing else and have a pretty fulfilling hobby.

Btw, that Trix Passenger 0-4-0 tank unit have you ever seen one of them, speaking of critters?
