Tomcat, thank you and a Happy New Year to you and yours truly too!

No need to excuse for a delay, I think the response was quite quick! ;)
Maybe it is because I have a little trouble expressing what it is I need in english, but the measures I am still hoping to get are:

distance between the individual axles of each drive unit or bogie (the distance between the 3 axles each) and the distance between the swiveling points of the bogies.
To make things clear I added a little "paintwork" of my own ;)



Sorry for all the trouble!!
BTW: in the photobucket album are also a few pics of a Billard railcar in O scale for my freelance french layout.

I know the model is only recently on sale, and I already have plans to use it's chassis to convert it into something different.
I was planning a freelance version of the french Vivarais Mallets (yes, they were metre gauge, but that is the freelance part ;) ) so i need someone to take the measures of the following items to see if it suits my needs:

wheeldiameter
wheelbase of each drive mechanism, and wheelbase of the whole loco

and to see if the drives could be used to build 2 Corpet-Louvet loco's: how is the whole thing driven? One motor for both drives or one moter for each of the drives?
