(erielack) 2-8-0 Dimensions



DL&W 2-8-0 dimensions puzzle me a bit. The Classification of Locomotives
book diagram suggests the smaller of these machines had 69-inch boilers.
This may be exclusive of lagging, so perhaps the over-all appearance is
somewhat bigger. But in looking for 1:64 scale boiler front parts, it
became clear that either this really is a small boiler or I'm reading
this wrong. Thought I would cross-check and confirm this information
with those on the list before going to a lot of trouble on this account.
Appreciate it if someone would confirm this measurement.
 
Thanks!
