G-Class Wheel Size

[KMCE]

Quick one - does anyone know the wheelsize for the G601.

Ordering some wheels & would like to include these (prior to the dreaded 1st January)

 

Many thanks

950mm or 3' 1½", according to this.

Thanks Broithe - should have looked there!

 

Interesting, that size translates to c. 12mm in scale, however visually they look much bigger in comparison to the loco itself.

I quite fancy building one of these in 2mm from a Worsley works etch.

I've never been able to find the wheelbase of these machines, can anyone point me in the direction of a drawing?

Thanks

My 7mm G has a wheelbase of 8'6 Angus. Built from the Worsley etches, though adapted them to make mine one of the early versions. Reported the build on my workshop thread a couple of years ago.
