Hi all...
If anyone has a Model Power 2-8-2 Mikado with the Vanderbilt tender, would you mind taking a few
measurements (or some close-up, sharp photos with a fine scale ruler alongside for scale?)
of the tender please?
I want to know:
- total body length
- body height (not from the railhead, but from the bottom edge of the tender) to the top of the bunker
- height from the bottom edge to the walkway on the top of the "barrel"
- length of the bunker itself
Oh, and when I say "bottom edge of the tender", I mean the straight edge along the bottom of the
bunker. (It's kind of hard to have a bottom "edge" on a round tender!)
Thanks to the kind soul who takes the time to help me out!
- total body length ----- 2.330 not including the itty bitty front lip or the steps of the rear footboards
- body height (not from the railhead, but from the bottom edge of the tender) to the top of the bunker ----- .458 on the side , rear is got a curve.
- height from the bottom edge to the walkway on the top of the "barrel" ..... .348
- length of the bunker itself .....2.03 inside the rear cap to below the forward front of the bunker .
..................................................1.322 inside the rear cap to the rear of the rear wall of the bunker
Oh, and when I say "bottom edge of the tender", I mean the straight edge along the bottom of the
bunker. (It's kind of hard to have a bottom "edge" on a round tender!)
