Can anyone help me with some measurements off a Hornby Rocket and track please.
I need the track gague, inside of rail to inside of other rail
Also a back to back measurement of the wheels, that is inside of the wheel, to the inside of the other wheel.
Many thanks in advance. |

Everyone seems to have missd this one!
If you're still out there Hedd and still want answers I can get you the back-2-back as a local model shop's got one on display (not for sale though). I'm sure they won't mind me checking it.

8-10 hope this helps do have track but it's in loft, Rocket in 3.5 in gauge which gives you 3.5 ins inside the rails.
3.179 inside the wheels
3.300 across the front edge of wheel flanges
3.958 outside to outside of wheels.
if you need more info PM or email
