scaro Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Interested in the chassis for scratchbuilding. I am wondering if anyone who has one can say what the measurement is - from outer axle of front truck to outer axle rear truck. (not interested in the Atlas China one, just the Japan made KATO one, the China ones have a different chassis I think.)

garethashenden Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The overall wheelbase of the prototype is 47’ 2”, which in 1:160 would be 3.5375” or 8.98cm. I’m not aware of any dimensional inaccuracies with this model, unlike the Atlas-Kato GP7, so a wheelbase of 90mm is probably about right. Have you seen Spookshow’s review of the engine? Good description of the chassis differences there. http://www.spookshow.net/loco/atlasu25b.html 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaro Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thank you , yes I have seen the Spookshow site. I think tho that the overall wheelbase (of the real thing) would be 45' 6" , 36' 2" between truck centres and 9' 4" to the outer axles. How do you get to 47' 2" ?
