I had to Google Alco C415 just to see what one looked like.
Interesting looking loco. Wonder if it was a design or operation problem that made them unpopular. Would make an interesting modeling project.
But......
Googling also scored a couple of HO scale models on e-bay.
Overland made a brass model of the C415. Kinda nice looking model, but for $800, Don't think so. It looks like Life-Like made a plastic model of the C415 quite a few years ago. For $30, you can get it and a Life-Like F-3. I might go that way as a starting point for a kitbash or even a super detailing, if that's all the LL model needs. But being an older LL model?
