OK..further to this...wrt narrow..3'6" v standard......42" v 56 1/2".....thats
14 1/2" dif in guage...(and of course 7 1/4 a side) looking at various pix of
QR diesels the bogie sideframes dont appear all that different ion terms of
inboard location v standard guage locos...but pix can be decieving.....thats
why I was wondering whether all of the dif in guage is taken by closer
sideframes..or are the wheels located extra distance inboard from the journals
as well ..or combo there-of.

cheers >:~)) Richard
