I have had a look at the Aristocraft web site http://www.aristocraft.com/ < Link To www.aristocraft.com and found that the overall length is quoted as 27and a half inches or 699 mm. There are no other dimensions listed but did find that the minimum curve should be 8ft diameter but 10ft is better. The overall height wiil depend on the coach as they do have a dome observation coach in this range.
Aristocraft do have a technical help section on the web site so you may be able to get some help with your questions from them.
The original coaches were built by a company called Edward G Budd of Pennsylvania in 1937 if this is any help.
If you want any more help let me know.

It's nice out now, so I got one of mine out today to measure it.

Length between couplers: 73cm.
Width: 10.5
Height above rail top: 15.5

Unmodified cars ride very high, and too far apart.
Couplers can easily be remounted further back.
Lowering the car is a bit more interesting.
One way is to slide the floor out, and slide it back in one groove higher.

Hi Zman
I don't have any Aristo Streamlinners but i think the new ones out are lowered to match the latest lowered FA locos i remember reading about them on their web site .
