I'd appreciate it if you would list the dimensions you measured.

I had opportunity today to measure a standard gauge Plymouth critter.
http://www.ironhors ecentral. com/about2. html
When I returned home I checked the dimensions of an "HO" Plymouth critter.
See photo with an S scale F unit at
http://trainweb. org/mhrr/ ho-s-o/ply- d.html
http://trainweb. org/mhrr/ ho-s-o/ho- s-o-rolling. html
The length and height of the "HO" critter when measured with an S scale
"ruler" are nearly dead on exactly right. The hood is a bit wide,
presumably to make room for the motor? The cab is too narrow, as if
modeled from a narrow gauge cab.
The real one I measured looks like this

Cab is 9' wide.
The "HO" model looks similar to this

I say take the "HO" version, use it as is for Sn3, build a wider cab and
running boards for it for S standard gauge and you'll be extremely close
to correct.
