Title: K-27 length and wheelbase
Post by: Francois on September 12, 2008, 07:26:18 AM
Hello

I would like very much include the wonderfull K-27 to my indoor layout, but I don't know if it can turn on my turntable.
Then, I need help for few measures :
- overall length of the loco including tender and couplings,
- wheelbase (dist. between front wheels axles of the loco and rear wheels axle of the tender)

Thanks for help

Francois,

This should get you in the ball park.

Overall length with tender short coupled: 37 inches from coupler to coupler.

Wheelbase:  31 1/4" measured from center of front pilot axle to center of rear tender truck axle.
