Dimensions for #95370 1:20.3 Scale 20' Boxcar......

[emjayw]

i need some actual dimensions for the above item.  I may want to modify it for use as a "buffer" car between my Tender and the rest of my Durango & Silverton Passenger set, ala the small boxcars used on the actual trains.  I have a D&RGW 1:22.5 Boxcar and it's just too big to look right.  anybody got one they are willing to measure?  Thanks,  Mike in Texas

Hi Mike:

The boxcar body is 12" long, 3 3/4" wide and 4" high. The car is 13 1/2" long knuckle to knuckle and the roof walk is 5 1/4" above the top of the rail. The couplers are body mounted with plenty of swing and the car has the smaller metal wheels. I have some I put regular Bachmann freight trucks under with the large wheels and the roof walk is 5 1/2" above the rail.
