If you tell me what  6!/8  is in inches, I will measure my MP Pacific and tell you if it will fit.

I'm betting Max that it's a typo and the he meant 6 1/8" possibly. But according to Kato's web site the bridge is 160mm or 6" 5/16".

 kewatin here,
yes you are correct it is 6 5/16 long,  appreciate the replys and am hoping that at least i will be able to run some of my smaller steam locos
 like the pacific& mikado.right now i am limited to 2-6-0 ,4-6-0's &connies.was surpised that kato did not make a longer bridge ,but at least it fits my available space and works well with my nce power cab dcc system.

. . . interesting way to write your posts . . .   

I suspect that the reason Kato turntable is so small is because most of Kato's models (except for the US and European prototypes) are geared towards the Japanese market. Japanese steam locos are much smaller compared to US locos.

I measured my 4-6-2.

The entire length, from outside coupler face to coupler face, is 6-3/8".
The length from pilot (cow catcher!)  tip to the rear tender deck is 6-1/4"

And distance across the entire wheelbase only (from pilot wheels to the rear tender wheels), is 5-5/8".

So yes, it should fit on your turntable.
