I can’t seem to find a site that has the physical dimensions of all, or most, diesel locomotives.
I had a copy of Early Diesels Spotters Guide (or something like that), but lost it.
Does anyone know of such a site?
Thanks
Jim

My site, www.geocities.com/guilford_350 , lists the lengths and heights of most locomotives.
Wow. Thanks alot Paul and Mike. Between the two of your posts, I was able to get all the info I was looking for on old engines.
