[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Notice the intermediate trucks have 5’ 10” wheelbase – who makes a correct 5’ 10” truck in HO?

Okay, I finally found the wheelbase dimensions I was looking for regarding this cars in a very unlikely document.  It’s appears to answer my questions so will continue sketching this out.

There is a lot of information on the history and development of double stacks.   It’s worth reading section IV. DOUBLE-STACKS: PIONEER EFFORTS TO DEVELOPED NETWORK.


Cheers!
Tony
