Do these Bachmann wagons have correct wheelbase?

Or are they the earlier versions with the too long wheelbase and stretched body? 

Thanks

Those are OK, scale for 9' wheelbase, 16'6" frame length.

 

A good clue is the miniature tension lock coupler in an NEM pocket, that was introduced when the Blue Riband range commenced, which are generally accurately dimensioned. Exceptions I know of are the Midland van and cattle wagon carried over from earlier tooling, and the new tooling of the BR cattle wagon which is a scale foot out in length (I cannot remember whether long or short!).
