Hornby M7 Wheelbase - Measurement required.

[chris p bacon]

Hopefully someone can help.  

 

I'm currently working out what is possible with the Hornby M7 but need a measurement for the wheelbase (mainly the drivers) if someone is able to answer the question could they also give the size for the Hornby wheels,  I know they're 5'7" on the actual locomotive but wonder what dimension Hornby have used for the model.

 

Thanks in advance for anyone taking the trouble to check.

I did have the old Margate (Triang?) version but sold it a year or so ago

 

I think there is a newer version now, which one are you after

Both if possible, I want to use the driving wheels for a project.  A mm or so adrift from what I'm after on either the wheels or wheelbase isn't a huge problem.

Later version, drivers 22mm dia over tread, 29.5mm wheel base. truck 14.3 mm dia over tread, 25.5 mm wheelbase.
