LNERJP Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi All Can somebody please tell me the minium size Turntable a Standard Class 3, 2-6-0 could be turned on. To help with layout planning. Cheers J.P. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcazar Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Wikipedia gives their overall length as 55' 11 3/4", so I think a 60' turntable would be needed, unless a 55' one was available, and the loco overhung a few inches either end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERJP Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Thanks alcazar, but that's 55' 11"3/4 over buffers which means it will almost certainly fit on a 50' turtable, but as the layout planned, is for a small NE branch line terminus, I want to keep it as small as possible to keep it in proportion.

alcazar Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think Wikipedia gives wheelbase too. That might be of use to you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
