BLMA 70 ton bolster height?

Robb, Craig, anyone?

What is the height of the truck bolster from the top of the rail on the 70 ton truck?

I measured it at ~.1625", but would like to make sure.

Never mind the BLMA site is back up and they have it listed.

Thanks,

Jason

I am really looking forward to these gons.  I have six Penn Central ordered and my father has six Pennsy.  Tangent Scale Models has started to ask questions about Conrail GE51D's (Conrail painted ex Erie Lackawanna cars) on the Conrail Modeler's Yahoo Group.  I hope those get on Craig's radar soon.  Why they would not be researching Conrail G31B's is a mystery to me.  Perhaps it is due to so many of the G31B's being "rebuilt" (ends fixed and brake hardware moved to end of car) into G31L's.  Either way (GE51D or G31B), they are prototype Conrail cars and that is all that matters, so either is most welcome.  I would suspect that Tangent's second release would be BLMA's also, but this is purely a guess.  Thank you for producing these cars Craig.

Jeff

Thanks Jeff!

I can tell you for certain we will DELIVER another run of these gondolas this summer - no pre-orders needed as they'll go straight to market based on demand from the first run.  More on that in a few months...

Conrail and Erie Lackawanna both would be very welcome additions in N.
