I rather doubt it, as GE and Alco (later GE alone) built the sideframes for the steeplecabs and boxcab electric locomotives on which the first diesel switchers were based, so the Q-Car shorter GE locomotive sideframe (or Wagner/Current Line equivalent) would be correct for an O scale model but 25% too large for an S scale one. Didn't someone produce an S scale steeplecab sideframe? Hoquat to go with his steeplecab or Flatt?
