Not sure if this has been flagged up already. The Oakhill site has just been updated to include these although they had been mentioned a a while back.

Oakhill Works handle the printing end of Newman Miniatures since the demise of Shapeways original operation.

I seem to recall that a Class 37 chassis is fairly close to the mark for CC1.

6ft 3 7/8in + 6ft 3 7/8in each bogie, total overall wheelbase 48ft 7 3/4in. So a bogie in 4mm scale of 25mm + 25mm centres and 14mm dia wheels might be a good start.

The class 37 is a bit too long everywhere then. 13'6" bogie wheelbase, equally divided, and the overall wheelbase 50'8".

There aren't many better options in 4mm scale, the shorter bogies tend to be either A1A (with smaller middle wheelset) or unequal axle spacing, owing to the constraints of traction motor positioning on the prototype. But a class 31 has a longer bogie wheelbase than a class 37!

The ex-Lima class 50/55/37 bogies were in HO scale, but they work out too short for CC1 in 4mm scale (11'9"). 

Possibly something else in HO might work (but wheels would certainly be far too small).
