LBSCR Classes E1 and E2 vital statistics help needed

[Alex TM]

Hi everyone,

 

Can anyone tell me the wheelbase, and length over frames (or buffers) of the above two classes?

 

I have looked online, and in the books I have, and can find almost everything else but those two pieces of information.  The reason I am looking for the information is that I have been looking at a couple of SEF kits with a view to seeing if they will fit on any currently available rtr chassis.

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

 

Regards,

 

Alex.

Strangely enough I have my Russell book to hand

 

E1 wheel base 7'6" + 7' 9"

E1 across buffer beam 29' 2" 

E1 across buffer heads 32' 4.1/2"

 

E2 wheel base 8' + 8' 

E2 across buffer beam 30' 0.1/2"

E2 across buffer heads 33' 3"

Hi Graham,

 

Many thanks for that.

 

I usually find that when someone asks a question, and I know I have a book with the answer, that I cannot either find the book or the correct page ....
