Can you tell me the driver diameter on the upcoming Alco 2-6-0 and the axle spacing.

Dear Alan,
I'll measure when I get a sample.
Have fun!

So, any word on driver dimensions and spacing yet?

Hi, Alan,
The driver diameter is .65".  The distance between the front and center driver is 1.1"; between the center and rear it's .9".
Have fun!

For prototype comparisons, the driver diameter is 56" (say 57", a common older freight engine size, same as what is under the light 2-10-2 and both of the 2-6-6-2's offered by Bachmann).  Spacing between the first and second axle scales out to 95.8", or about 8 feet, while the space between second and third axles comes out to just over 78", or 6 feet, 6 inches.
