 Richard Glueck's 1.5" to the foot, or 1/8th scale. LIRR N52A  #43



The BAR reefer weighs in at about 70 lbs.  The CNR boxcar is filled with bricks, so it now weighs about 80- 90 lbs.  The LIRR caboose is light, and weighs about 30 pounds.  My locomotive weighs about 400 lbs. when loaded with water and coal; light it weighs about 300 lbs. R. Glueck

Note how the the gray goes about 5" or more in front of the notch of the radiator well.  What it's not showing is how it arced across the top, but it wasn't squared off.
