vadimav Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hello. Can You help me? I m trying to choose right locomotive for conversion into Alstom NEVZ EP20 Can You help me to find out draft drawings for these locomotives: EF81, EF510 and EF210 ( Natural, or scaled N models also applicable ) I m interested in distance between axles anfd between trucks. -------------- Thanks, Vadim Link to comment
HantuBlauLOL Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) here you go, just some bitmap drawings though.. but pretty accurate. EF81 EF210 EF510 BTW you wanna model in 1/150 or 1/160? i'd prefer 1/160 if i were you.. EF81 have a more accurate spacing between its bogies, and EF510 have a more accurate body length to EP20. EP20 in 1/160 would be 133mm long, EF81 in 1/150 would be 124mm long, and EF510 in 1/150 would be 132mm long. Edited December 16, 2014 by HantuBlauLOL Link to comment
vadimav Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Thanks! Can You tell me distances between axles and trucks in English? I cannot have Japaneese fonts. (So, it's a reason why i cannot googling it and came to this forum for asking.) --------- Vadim Link to comment

Can You measure distances between axles in truck and distance between axles for KATO models of EF81, EF510 and EF210? ----------- Vadim Link to comment
miyakoji Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Vadim,The EF81 uses DT138 trucks at the ends, and a DT139 truck in the center. Wheelbase is 2600mm.The EF510 uses FD7N trucks at the ends, and a FD8A in the center. Wheelbase is 2500mm.The EF210 0-subseries and 100-subseries use FD7E trucks at the ends, and the FD8 in the center. Wheelbase is 2500mm.I'll look some more for distance between trucks, I've found some figures but I'm not sure they're right. The Japanese term is 台車中心間距離, I believe. Link to comment
vadimav Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ok. Thanks miyakoji ! I would be glad to know distances between trucks of these 3 models. ------ Vadim. Link to comment
HantuBlauLOL Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hi vadim, have you finished this model? I'm interested with this loco.. Wanted a loco with 4 pantographs, but only had an EF81 chassis.. Link to comment
