Wheelbase of the Kato Siemen's Charger ?

I wondered if anyone knew the wheelbase of the Kato Siemen's Charger ?   I wa thinking the truck wheelbase (believe it's longer than the standard 9' or 9'4" of other B-Bs)  and the measurement from outer axle to outer axle over the whole loco

bogie or truck wheelbase :

O              O
 I________I


  and outer axle to outer axle measurement over chassis:

O          O                                       O          O
I__________________ __ _______________I



Best regards to all

Hi there,

On our Kato ALC-42 charger I measure:
Truck: .732”/18.6mm average of inside and outside of bearing on truck frame
Overall: 3.85”/97.9mm while resting on straight track

Hope this is what you’re looking for
