Title: Dimensions of the railbus and the OF 4-4-0
Post by: Hamish K on July 30, 2008, 07:25:18 PM
Dear Bach Man

Have you had any chance to obtain the measurements of the new ON30 items? In particular I am interested in the length of the railbus, both the railbus by itself and the combined length with its trailer, and the OF 4-4-0.
Also has there been any progress in obtaining a comparison photo of the OF and IF 4-4-0?

Many thanks

Hamish

Dear Hamish,
I haven't gotten my samples yet, but I'll measure them when I do.
I do have a photo of both 4-4-0s which I will try to put in the Gallery.
Have fun!

Dear Bach Man

Thanks for replying - I am aware that you may be having problems in uploading photos to the board, posting on the board has been very hit and miss for me lately, half the time I get a "timed out"' message although I have only been on for a short period.

Dear Bach Man

I know that you have been busy with train shows but is there any progress in obtaining

(1)   the length of the railbus (both the railbus by itself and the combined     length with trailer)
(2)   the length of the OF 4-4-0, and
(3)   a comparision photo of the OF and IF 4-4-0s?

Many thanks

The Rail Bus set (powered unit and trailer connected) measures 11-5/8" from tip of pilot to rear of the rear coupler.  The powered unit by itself measures 6-1/4" from tip of pilot to rear of rear coupler.  Hope this helps.

Hi, Hamish!
I returned from California yesterday, but I haven't received samples as yet.
I hope to have them soon.
Have fun!
