362 (Was JTC Tidbits)

[Greg King]

Hi Charlie,

JTC is a particular favourite of mine and I have two white metal models (O
gauge of course) of the 350's that I'm working on to make them more acurate.

The actual dimensions are: width over drip rail 8'21/4", the width over the
bumper is 6'113/4" and this is probably where they made the error, the
Brisbane FM cars were very narrow and they were 7'6" (I think without
checking my plans). The JTC data came from St.Louis Car Co. Via "from
horsecars to Streamliners".

Cheers
Greg
