to post a link to the results of a search and see if it works: Distance between coupled cars Not exactly the same question but related there are some good comparisons made by Doc Denny

Just to finish this up, I'm going to post a link to the results of a search and see if it works: Distance between coupled cars Not exactly the same question but related there are some

The other school said to move the coupler box back, so the distance between coupled cars would be correct when using the commonly available couplers.

between coupled cars.

The Accurail narrow boxes are a preferred component : 1) basic appearance; and 2) the striker-to-striker distance between to Accurail Proto-equiped cars is almost exactly scale: 29”

When all is done, it is magic to see two so-we'll-detailed and equipped cars coupled up with a true scale distance between striker plates (c 29-30"), the hanging rubber brake hoses

Both the Type E and Type D coupler before it had a 12" striker horn to pulling face dimension, so at rest two coupled cars would be 30" between the strikers.

At the point of accident the distance between the centerlines of tracks Nos. 2 and 3 is 14 feet.

Modeling Duryea underframes will placed the coupled distance between cars at a greater distance than that of the standard AAR underframe. I hope this helps. Regards, Bob Witt

In the case of the Bronx terminal, all the cars had the almost universal standard of either 5'-0" or 5'-6" to striker distance.

What is the scale relationship, i.e. distance, between the striker plates of coupled car, and/or what is the correct scale relationship, i.e. projected distance, between the face of

The cumulative effect of a train of fine cars coupled with prototype distances between can be, and is magical. 3) No trucks are specified.

between cars.

coupled cars (coupled Accumate Proto and Kadee #153 couplers- either/or- allow prototype normal striker/striker distances of 29-31", the Accumate slightly better in this regard).

Since all (or most) are 40 ft cars, the doors logically should align even with the cars coupled.

Distance between coupled cars: The measured striker/striker distance of the semi-scale Accumate Protos and the Kadee #152 are respectively just under and over the prototype distance

My interest in them has been driven not only by their near-scale proportions, but also because for the first time, coupled cars can be spaced from each other close to, or at the correct

Reviewing my post on this subject, I did not make clear that the measured distance between the faces of the draft gear boxes of coupled cars (which is what I measured) is NOT the same
