RMweb Gold Edwardian Posted June 25, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 25, 2021  I wonder if any kind person out there could give me some measurements from this chassis, in particular:  - The diameter in mm of the coupled wheels  - The wheelbase in mm of the coupled wheels  - The height of the top of the motor, in mm, from, say, the centre of the rear wheel axle boss  Any guidance would be gratefully appreciated.  Thank you.

alastairq Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have the Ma & Pa version [cylinders probably pist n valves?]  which I suppose will be similar? [B/mann #83405]  As near as I can measure, using a OAP's diggy tall calipers, the driving wheels are circa 18.2 mm...wheelbase [as best as I can measure]....26mm From the wheel boss to the top of the motor, I was reluctant to take the body off....I've Never ever used this model [yet].....as the details are somewhere thinner than a human hair, and I would be afraid of crunching bits.....but, to give some idea , I reckon 26 mm to the top of the plastic boiler. So maybe a milly or so less than that? Cannot see motor through cab,and the firebox is in the way, plus a pair of rather underfed [HO?] engine crew? Gawd, I hate modern proprietary models, so crunchable in fingers used to resembling mole grips? [All I can think is, modellers today must have very dainty hands and fingers, compared to 50 years ago...and Hornby Dublo??}  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
