transporting a wide guage
« on: January 04, 2012, 04:44:02 pm »
Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of getting a wide gauge but I need a little help. I need the dimensions of a 69 wide guage, so i can inform shippers of height width length and weight.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks again,

BrianK

P.S. if anyone has connections I need this machine moved from MN, USA to Northern Alberta, Canada
