Height of Kato Sunrise Express?

[scott]

If someone who has this model would be willing to check a measurement for me, I'd appreciate it.

 

What I need is the measurement (while the model is on the track) from the tabletop/surface the track is sitting on (Unitrack, in my case) to the top of the pantograph at its full extension.

It actually isn't much higher than a regular EMU, at least not that I can think of. Think about how the Saro 124, E230, etc... are the same height as the rest of the train and you kind of get an idea. Anyway I'll measure mine when I get home .. If I can remember.

Thanks, guys--this helps with a tunnel-related project; I didn't want to block the Sunrise Express or similar trains if I eventually get them.

The only train you need to worry about will be Kato MAXI-IV double stacker container cars.

[scott]

Those should be easy to avoid. :-)

Ok my unscientific measurement nets 44mm including unitrack.

Thanks for doing that--I appreciate it.

Here's an idea for you Scott.  The page is Japanese and should translate enough to get any dimensions.
