OBB 2045 diesel Bo-Bo in 6-wide 12V style

[idlemarvel]

This is another Austrian oddity. They were built in the 50's and decommissioned in 1993. Some still exist in museums and heritage lines.

Prototype info here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ÖBB_2045

Here is my LDD model rendered with POV-Ray.

The green angled train windows pieces are too tall (2924bpb02 Train Front 2 x 6 x 5 1/3) so I went with 2x2 45 degree slope on its side. I also considered 17454 Window 2 x 6 x 2 Train Front but that is only available in black, white, blue or brown. The loco would be better in dark green I guess but standard green will do. Makes a change from all my other red white and black locos!  The white railings are not 1980s pieces but they look much better than the alternatives. I have modelled a red version with the 17454 angled train front pieces (in white) which makes room for a City Hub inside the cab, should I wish to motorize this.

nice little model, I hope you get to make it in bricks and get it around a track.
