Sorry to be asking this question but I have packed all of the engines in storage and have torn down my old layout, so I can't measure them.

I am designing my new layout on Cadrail while I get ready to leave for my new job. For turntables and run-around tracks I need to know the total length of the HO Spectrum 4-6-0 and 2-8-0? Thanks - Nevin

Nevin,

The Spectrum 2-8-0 measures 10 inches from the pilot to the back beam of the tender. Add two EZ mate couplers and the total length is 10.5 inches. Sorry, don't own a 4-6-0.

I guess the next question is does anyone make a 75 foot turntable? I have a branch line at requires a smaller turntable. 90 feet is a bit large and unneeded. The largest engine on the branch would be the 2-8-0. Thanks for the information. - Nevin

Try a google search for Diamondscale turntables,they may produce a 75 footer....
