Hi George.
After studying a number of PRR boxcar photos from Class X29 to Class X40B,
my best guess is about 10 inches between bolt of rivet head centers, and the
grip, if that’s the term, appears to be about eight inches long, give or take,
with a diameter roughly half again that of a grab iron or ladder rung, so maybe
an inch to an inch and a quarter. In any event, if you’re replacing cast
on detail, the length will pretty much be determined by the dimensions of the
detail being replaced.
Hope that helps.
Pax,
Ralph
