Roundhouse 0-6-0 vs DCC/Sound

[doctorwayne]

I wasn't sure of the proper size, Matt, and had to check the only three CNR locomotives I have. Usually, there's a couple of Mister Nutbar's locos around, too.

The number board on my Samhongsa-built H-6-g 1383 measured roughly:

.375" across the rear
.075" across the front
.285" along each side
.125" thick




...and the scratchbuilt one on my recently acquired O-18-a 7434 was the same size:




...while the scratchbuilt one on my Proto-based P-5-h measured approximately:

.380" across the rear
.075" across the front
.285" along each side
.110" thick




I'm unsure of the reason for the discrepancy in thickness of the one on 8414, but it was my first CNR steamer, and the dimensions would have been taken from one of Mister Nutbar's locos. If you want to use HO scale inches, the sizes work out to roughly:

34" across the rear
7" across the front
25" along each side
10" thick

(that's using .011" to represent I"HO)
