Is there a listing of N scale loco driver diameters and spacing? Tried searching and drew a blank.

Is there particular locomotive data that you need?  I am sure one of us on the forum will have that model and can measure with a caliper.

the reply that @mike_lawyer gave is probably the most correct one ... model diameters and spacing will probably closely match the real prototypes, but might not be exact ...

There is a table in the NTrak steam loco book.  Still very useful if about 15+ years old.

Thanks for the responses. I will have to see if I can find my old NTrak steam loco book. I went on site and see there are Annuals, addendums and updates which I never purchased. downloaded the index and there seems to be lots of no specific update of the original table. I see that some can do just about anything to build a mechanism to get close or exactly what they want. I am not near that level. So was thinking of going the other way.  Looking for x-6-x with odd wheel spacing. Kato Japanese C11 2-6-4 has the odd spacing.  Could it work?
