UPDATE: I have the info I need, thank you.

Can somebody please help me with the following dimensions:

- width of the cab side
- height of the cab from the sill to the top of the windows
- and the length of the carbody

I can find drawings on line, but none with dimensions to scale from.

What I got...

Dear Bill,

I found a B'mann HO 70-ton cab in my "odds n sods" bucket, most of the rest of my stuff is currently stored in the warehouse.

Cab side width 6' 10" / 24mm

Cab height frame <> top of centre windows 7' 8" / 27mm

Sorry I can't help with the hood length at this time...

Happy Modelling,
Aim to Improve,
Prof Klyzlr
