That's good to know John.

So Michael's 4 foot wheel base design is likely correct.

I played around with the Fairplay photo of the new UP boxcar. Compared with the 27 foot body, I get a truck wheel base of 46.6 inches, not correcting for perspective.




I, too, think 48 inches is correct. Even if off by an inch or so, the 4 foot design that Michael has come up with is excellent, and will be many orders of magnitude better than any other cobbled together approximation using available commercial parts.
