Large Scale Central

Aristocraft Pacific loco measurements please

Mornin’, all - I need some help making my mind up whether a recently dreamed-up project is actually feasible before I commit myself to a LOT of work and some considerable expense, at least, by my standards.

My queries are aimed only at any of you who have a recent version of the Pacific locomotive. I need to know -

a. The wheelbase - centre to centre, and

b. The diameter of the drivers.

That’s all, folks!

Thanks in advance

Terry, I can’t help you there. I have the remains of an old original issue one somewhere in my junk box. Don’t know if the wheel diameter or centers changed when they were upgraded or not.

Thanks anyhow, Warren. I have since found out that it is not only too short, but the wheels are too big as well.

Next question then - for those with an LGB Mogul…

Wheelbase please?

And size of drivers?

If I told you what it was for you’d all laff.

Take a look at this site. Lots of dimensions of motor blocks. http://gold.mylargescale.com/scottychaos/MLS-kitbashing-guide.html

Thank you for that.

Seems I’m stuck for two power trucks…my project has come to early and fatal halt.

It’s a strange choice of model, and WHY ONE would have wanted to build it is not rational, except to say that I think it would make a fantastic and HUGE model!
