Dimensions of Rolling Stock - 1929


Also see dimensions for track formations, and 1971 standards for rolling stock dimensions, as well as the rolling stock FAQ.


The diagram below is adapted from an IR publication of the 'Schedule of Moving Dimensions'. It shows the 1929 standards for maximum/minimum limits on dimensions of rolling stock, both standard stock and the somewhat larger X series of locomotives which were in use then and which merited separate moving dimension standards.
