<font color="336633">I am thinking of building a RS36, to me it looks like an Atlas RS11 would be a good starting point, but the 36 looks a bit longer, has anyone got the wheelbase of the 36?</font> ------------------ Matthew wheres all the C636's???? stickymonk.com Matts Photo gallery TrainBoard member #257
Monk, Keep in mind that the *original* Atlas/Kato RS11's were produced with a non-prototypical short wheelbase. I was told this was done so that they were able to use the same chassis for both the RS11 and the RS3. I believe that Atlas has corrected the mistake on the re-released Atlas "Classic" RS11 (I could be wrong on this but I think I read it somewhere). I also am pretty sure that the RS11 and RS36 had the same wheelbase. Hope this helped... George ------------------ You start with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience.

<font color="336633">thanks George, i was thinking about the New Atlas RS11 mainly because of DCC, i have never managed to pick up one of the origonal Atlas RS11's so i cant compair it to my RS3</font> ------------------ Matthew wheres all the C636's???? stickymonk.com Matts Photo gallery TrainBoard member #257 [This message has been edited by StickyMonk (edited 07 December 2000).]
