Dear RC,
From a review by Dick Shafer, GR April 2000:
The locomotive's dimensions compare favorably with drawings of the Eureka, South Pacific Coast N 3, and the D&RG Class 42 series. While there are some minor discrepancies, the model credibly represents the Baldwin narrow-gauge Americans.
From coupler to pilot tip the 4-4-0 is 27" long;
rail top to stack top is 7-1/8";
width across the roof is 4-9/16".
Applying a 1:20.3 scale, these measurements yield a 44'-7" length; 12' height; and 7'-7" width--all at or very close to the prototype machines' dimensions.
The drivers are about 40" in diameter; the pilot wheels are 22".
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik
