Maybe a Kidder body with a Q-car drive unit installed into the trucks......
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

Thanks Rufus. Looked like a trolley car power unit I'd seen decades ago.

That part of it I'm sure about; extrapolating to a Kidder body. Curious to take a closer look how that drive was installed..........can't get those anymore from Quentin, but I have a few stashed away for use in a choice project should it materialize.
