On30 / Re: Question about the On30 2-6-6-2

Thank you guys for your answers. I really appreciated that you took the trouble to give me the facts about the Bachmann model. Unfortunatly are the drivers a bit too small and the wheelbase a bit too short for kitbashing this model into the swedish prototype that I had in mind. But I might buy the model anyway and make a freelance "little"brother of it, since the Bachmann chassies run very well.
I´ll try to keep you posted of my efforts.
And Chris, you don´t have to do anything for me now since I got the answers. Thank you anyway!

Sincerely yours (swedish On30 enthusiast)
Peter

Dear Chris
As I understand you have bought the 2-6-6-2 wich I haven´t so far. I posted a question a couple of days ago on this forum, but no reply so far. My question was, what is the wheel diameter and what is the wheelbase for each "bogie" (drivercenter to drivercenter). Could you please measure this for me and I would be very happy. My plan is to see if it´s possible to kitbash the model into a swedish prototype 0-6-6-0 with a 3-axle tender.
This mallet is the biggest one that ran in Sweden, and it was primally a loghauling railroad. The gauge was 3-foot and I´m trying to use this railroad as an inspiration for a model in On30.
I couldn´t find a decent picture of the engine right now but I could send you one later if you are interested.
Yours truly
Peter

On30 / Question about the On30 2-6-6-2
August 03, 2010, 10:42:33 AM
Hello out there
Is there anyone who can inform me about some dimensions regarding the 2-6-6-2. What is the diameter of the drivers (in mm or inches) and what is the wheelbase for each "bogie"?
Please, if you have bought the model, pick up your calipers and measure it for me.
Yours truly Peter
