Captain Baxter - Drawings/Dimensions?

[hartleymartin]

After seeing a thread about building a model of Captain Baxter on a Dapol Pug chassis, I've decided that this is what I can use my sevenscale pug chassis for. I bought it as part of a pile of detailing bits and pieces for quite cheap about 6 months ago, and now I've got a serious case of loco-build-itis happening!

A full drawing isn't necessary. Some leading dimensions would be extremely helpful and I can guesstimate the other dimensions by scaling them off photographs. Thankfully Captain Baxter is a popular locomotive with lots of photos on the interwebs.

Useful dimensions - any of these would be appreciated if they are known.

Some guesstimated dimensions from photos:

Wheel Diameter: 3'6" 
Wheelbase: 7'6"
Length over headstocks: 19'0"

Length from rear bufferbeam to fron cabsheet: 4'8"
Length of side-tanks (from back of cab sidesheet to front of tanks): 9'3"
Height of side-tanks (from footplate): 3'3"

Width of smokebox (measured at base) 3'10-1/2"
Centreline of boiler (from footplate) 22"

Width of cab and side-tanks: 7'6"

 

The biggest discrepency with the chassis I intend to use is that the wheels are smaller (3'1") and the rear axle is forward of the prototype by 21".

 

I'm okay with this as I think that Captain Baxter looks a little ungainly with the large wheels and the rear axle so far back. It's only going to be a "sketch model" anyway.

I believe  there will be a 3D printed body out later in the year see link

Yes, but I'm working in 7mm scale.
