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?
