Hello!
Does anybody know the width and height of these locomotives, or possibly have the locomotives and could measure?
* LGB 2171 / LGB 25703.
* HSB Mallet from LGB or Trainline (As far as I have understood, LGB and Trainline have used the same main dimensions, but please correct me if I am wrong).
Lengths of the locos are easy to find on the Internet, but I would like to know the height and the width as well. Height should be measured to the top of the roof (and, for instance, not to the top of the whistle or or to the chimney). Width should be measured over the driver's cab or the tanks, but not including smaller parts such as handles, etc.
I can find some measurements online, but I have found that it varies a bit what the manufacturers include in the measurements they give.
I am building models of carriages from a far gone narrow gauge railway here in Norway. The scale is 1:20, but as the prototypes were relatively small, many locomotives in scale 1:22.5 or 16mm will be significantly too high and/or wide in front of the carriages. Technically almost any loco on 45mm would work fine, but I want it to look proper, having seen too many model trains with a huge loco in front of small carriages.
Thank you very much in advance.
