Thanks for the photos of the Forney with the ruler. Based on the photos and dimensions , it appears that Bachmann has just scaled up their On30 Forney. The SR&RL Forney #9 was about 29' long and th 1:20.3 Forney appears to be 29' long. All the other dimensions appear to be consistent with the On30 Forney also.
Great news for people like me that are just itching to move the gauge in to 32mm to make it correct for a Maine loco and it appears there is room to do it.
Thanks again for posting those pics.

Hi Harold and others
I understand that this is based on an 30" prototype but can anyone advise me if there is room to widen the drivers/wheels out to 3 foot gauge??? I have quite a few Bachmann locos and all have been regauged.
Thanks
