I’ve been reading through some posts, and “scale vs semi-scale” certainly gets some column space!
The drawings someone posted a while ago, shows the overall length from pilot to rear of footplate as 54’ 1.625”, that’s 13.53” at 1:48 scale
My MPC Lionel Hudson, #5484 measures 11.125”, that’s 44’ 6” - 18% short.
Overall width (cab) = 121.5”, that’s 2.53” at 1:48; it measures 2.375”, that’s 114” at 1:48 scale, slightly less than 6% undersize. I’m not going to get into the height, because rail heights etc.
I can’t measure my K Line, I don’t have it at present.
So, anyone care to measure their locos as a comparison?
