Binky Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 This might sound like a strange request but does anyone have a OO scale modern style minbus they could measure for me please? Something like the EFE Mercedes minibus or similar shape. https://www.hattons.co.uk/15813/efe_24903_mercedes_minibus_b_with_low_roofbox_metrobus_minimetro_/stockdetail.aspx Many thanks in advance.

RMweb Premium JSModels Posted August 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2021 You can find dimensions online for any full scale van, and then divide it by 76 to get a OO scale length. Even allowing for model dimensions to be off slightly, that would certainly get you within a mm or two of the actual length of a decent, modern model.

RMweb Premium JSModels Posted August 14, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 14, 2021 For example, here's a screenshot of a pdf brochure that took less than 2 mins to find and download: 7.4m divided by 76 = 97.4mm, so that would (in theory) be the length of a OO gauge model of it. In practice it might be slightly different, but I'd expect it to be 95-100mm long. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a Corgi beaver 2 minibus be close enough? I have one here I can measure if that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
