Could someone please tell me the dimensions of the Bachmann Large scale (runs on 45mm gauge track) Jackson Sharp passenger cars (e.g. WP&YR combine and coach):

total length (coupler face to coupler face to nearest mm or 1/16")
car body length (platform to platform)
length between truck centers
car width
car height (top rail to top of vent stack)

Thanks


Joe Zullo

total length=20 1/8"
car body length=19 1/16"
truck centers=11 1/2"
car width=4 1/8
car height=6 1/2"

Probably a decade ago I acquired WP&YR  Combine mkd 'Royal Mail' #209.  

Are these what you refer to as the "jackson sharp" series ?

What scale are these ?   1:20.3  ?

hmmm maybe I should have gone down to the ref. library and pull out a catalog .... but oh well someone else {even just one other ;) } maybe wondering the same

thanks for any info,

The Bachmann large scale J&S passenger cars are nominally 1:22.5 scale. Pretty close in most dimensions. They are definitely NOT 1:20.3 scale.
