Roundhouse pony truck size

Hi there,

Could someone please tell me or measure the length from the pivot point (where it attaches to the frame spacer) to the axle of the pony truck as used on the Roundhouse Fowler?

Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Have you tried contacting Roundhouse themselves? They're normally very helpful on such matters!
Unfortunately I cannot help as I do not have a Fowler... :(
I would also assume that the pony trucks are interchangeable as well?

The pony truck pivots on the spacer marked by the screw head behind the rear driving axle.

Thanks for the responses.

My idea will not work anyway as the pony truck will be out too far using Baldrigs rule (thanks Tony):
