Model of B&O electric loco used in Baltimore tunnels?

[Maletrain]

I stumbled on this, mislisted as a covered hopper on eBay:

Not even sure what scale it is.

Looks like the MDC HO box cab.

Looks like H0 scale boxcab loco.  Looks like it is painted brass.

It appears to be a model of B&O 1, an early diesel used in New York City, photo here: https://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr0107/dl582.jpg

That would be a fun 3-D print project for a Tomix chassis... no?

If my bubble wrap measurement (a 40' N scale car is 7 bubbles) is accurate, that is definitely HO.

I dunno.  I think if you are going to do an old boxcab, it should have old power.  Arnold Rapido 1970-ish chassis, or something like that. 

But kidding aside, it is surprising that there aren't a bunch of 3D prints out there for boxcabs.  Often the first diesel for a lot of roads- certainly iconic- everything from little switchers to the original power for the Super Chief (literally numbered "1" although not ATSF's first diesel).  A lot of them still around in the 1950s doing duty as light duty switchers.  GTW had one that worked the ferry docks in Milwaukee until 1959.

Yeah, I recognized it but misidentified it - it is not something that was ever in the B&O Alleghenies where my modeling interests are focused.    I just posted it here when I saw it and that it was not listed properly, in case somebody here was interested.  At least I knew it wasn't a covered hopper.

The second link is dead.

Searching on B&O #195 leads to this:

Re-numbered to 8000:

B&O #1 was used in Manhattan at  W26st. It was the 2nd boxcab built.
