<>The above photo shows the "HO" Plymouth with an S scale F unit.
How close is this to correct S scale?
I have not found dimensional data for an M series unit.
For photos of Prototype Plymouths, see
http://www.northeast.railfan.net/diesel123.html
Some photos show freight cars in the background.
Based on these photos, the model certainly is close in size, even if
not exactly right.
Here are the S scale dimensions of this model:
Length: 22'
Width: 7' 9"
Height: 9' 10"
I have not found a photo of an M unit that exactly matches this model,
although I have found units that are quite similar, for example, the
cab front window configuration is very similar to that of EBT #M-5-A.
Note that the prototype photos have a hood side extension on one side
only, vs both sides on the model.
Several prototype photos show air tanks behind the cab vs a "toolbox"
on the model.
Note the high coupler location on the prototypes.
I suspect that this model is extremely close to correct S scale.
