csb plot HELP.

[alan woodard]

Hi all.
I'm in need of a csb plot for a LNWR A class o-8-o, Has anyone already worked one out as I'm computer iliterate and flippin hopless at anything mathmatical.
The wheel base for one of these engines is 5' 9" + 5' 9" + 5' 9" .
Any help would be most welcomed.

Alan.

As it happens, if you look at my spreadsheet as published on the CLAG site, you will find the 4 axle version is set up with the data for a symmetrical 5'9" chassis (23mm) already entered. So all you need do is read off the answers!

Comes out in mm.s at
7-A-11.5-11.5-A-11.5-11.5-A-11.5-11.5-A-7
which is a nicely symmetrical answer and a perfectly balanced chassis

Perfect wire size in thou against to loco weight in grams is given in this next table, use the size closest to the real loco weight
Thou - gm
12 - 552
11 - 389
10 - 266
9 - 174
