Re: narrow gauge passenger cars

Well, I live in Washington State, so I don't generally just drop in to the book store at the museum. They have excellent mail order service, which is how I generally buy railroad books.
Some basic dimension s from a D&RG folio sheet for coaches 270, 290, 306, all built by Jackson & Sharp
Length inside coupler faces: 44' 4"
Length of carbody: 38' 4"
Height from underside of floor to exterior of roof: 6' 11.5"
Height from rail to roof top: 11' 9"
Height from rail to top of smoke jack: 12' 6"
Width at eaves: 8' 5"
Width at bottom of car body: 8' 0"
Personally, I'd say these are two fo the books I use most for modeling D&RGW passenger equipment. Well worth the expense. " />
