David32424 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Here's a fairly basic review I uploaded to my Youtube channel last year of the Bachmann C class along with a photo of my two locos on shed. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we'll see the Birdcage coaches from Bachmann at some point next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachmann Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I wonder if anyone with a Bachmann C Class can tell me the measurement from rail level to the very top of the motor please. Also the coupled wheelbase. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 It's a 'Derby Standard' 8'+8'6" wb, 37.5mm from railhead to top of motor can. (The usual mess of capacitors soldered to the top of the can which have to be removed to get down to that height.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The usual mess of capacitors soldered to the top of the can which have to be removed to get down to that height.) My goodness that is lower than expected. May I bother you for the driving wheel diameter too please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 No trouble, 20mm over treads, 16 spokes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 No trouble, 20mm over treads, 16 spokes. Great, and many thanks indeed. This is all for a project that might or might not come off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachmann Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 A further question if I may. Has anyone a photo of the C class chassis minus its body? I am hoping to work out how much boiler space the mech takes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibber25 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The Model Rail review will have had a shot of the chassis with the body 'cut away' to show the mech. The index is on the UK Model Shop Directory website under 'Extras'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
