Whoa.  It occurs to me that all those estimates I made of 52" wheelbase become 48" exactly if the UP truck wheels were actually 24" instead of 26 as I assumed.  As I noted before, the Litchfield truck must have 24" wheels if it is 48" wheelbase, and Michael's computer tells us that the UP truck was the same.   So, could it be that the truck in the much later photo of the flanger had 24" wheels originally that had by then been replaced with larger ones, probably the only available by that time?

What do you think, Michael?

by the way- thanks-  Sketchup.   yes, that's the same method I've been using by hand, I'll look into it.
