I found some info about this...
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://loggingmallets.railfan.net/models/mantua/d-mantua.gif">http://loggingmallets.railfan.net/model ... mantua.gif</a><!-- m -->
From RLW's Uintah project...
ht: 14'2.5"
len: 46'
I've been unable to find any other dimensions on the internet for the uintah engines.
Based off of the length, the Mantua's are too long for HOn3, but the correct height. The driver size is definitely too big (the biggest 3' gauge drivers I can think of were 48"...I suspect the Uintah's were more like 37"-42". The big downside would be the way too wide driver tires.
I would guess that Sn3 would make the most sense...but Sn3 seems to have fewer people into scratch building locomotives than the other narrow gauge scales.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
