I have three MTH RK 0-27 sized passenger car sets with:

30-6213 Madison Observation car.

RK-6023 Streamline Observation car.

30-6113 Streamlined Observation car.

I'd like to install Tomar drumheads on these observation cars.  Doe anyone have the sizes of the Tomar Heavyweight Rectangular Drumheads and Lightweight Rectangular Drumheads for O gauge?

Or do you know if they will or will not fit these cars?

Many Thanks

OK, I called Tomar Industries today and they answered my questions. Here is what I learned.

First, the number in the header of the Tomar website is the correct number. The Benton Harbor MI number is no longer valid.

Ethan answered the phone. He explained that the drumheads were made to be mounted in portrait or landscape position, depending on the graphic chosen.

He gave me these sizes for these scales:

O - 15mm x 12mm

S - 11mm x 9mm

H - 7mm x 6mm

Ethan suggested phoning in orders or emailing them.  He said the website was outdated and had issues.   They should have a new website up early 2023.

I chose the S size drumhead for the Madison car.  When it arrives I'll check it to see how it fits on the streamlined cars but I expect the H size will fit them better.
