hi i'm working on a kitbashing project and i need to know the lengths of bachmann's n scale tenders the usra ones, can any1 tell me the lengths of the usra short, usra medium, and usra long tenders? thanx very much if u can help
I don't have a USRA Short tender, so I can't say, but the Spectrum USRA Medium is 59mm over the end beams, and the USRA Long is 67mm over the end beams. The drawbar adds about 10mm, and any length added by the coupler will vary according to type and brand. For inch measurements, just divide by 25.4.
Good luck with your project.
Bill
