I've combed the internet for about the dimensions of Barney and Smith car no. 563 in Rolla. I need the size for a project I'm working on, anyone got any estimates of the dimensions?
The floor plans for heavyweight cars are posted here: http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/floor-diagrams.1714/ the group marked as part D includes the floor plan for 563 on the last page. Length is 57’ 5.5” over the buffers. This is just the floor plan, so no elevation drawings to help with height.
I have asked the Parks Director in Rolla if the workers had any drawings worked up when they did the restoration work. he told me he would check to see since he thought they did.
