Has anyone found "official" MTL data on the height of the top of the bolster in a Micro Trains Line N-scale Arch-bar truck. (Not your own measurement - I have found those to be unreliable.)

The OP's posts might still be moderated. It might take a day or two for a response to show up.

Living the dream.
I thought this was answered in a thread just a few days ago?
I'll see if I can find it. Somebody had posted this document.

THOMAS KNAPPHas anyone found "official" MTL data on the height of the top of the bolster in a Micro Trains Line N-scale Arch-bar truck.
Officially, I'd say it is two hundred six thousandths. But this diagram shows .275?

I'll repost my infomation. As I read the OP's question, this would be my answer.
Taken off the back of a Micro-Trains Line card package. ''NOTE: Our freight car trucks have a bolster mounting height of .185'' (4.7mm) above the rails.'' I am not being loud with my above bold words, just making the important part stand out.
The OP's question precisely as asked was answered nearly immediately, correctly, by PC101. I'm pleased to see that the concise, accurate, and well-documented answer has returned.
Thanks to the others who contributed further information.
I did not look for or need a "thank you". My reply received other's attention, so it is all good. My reply will stay up. My fear was that my first reply went unseen and in time then would get "lost" and with the posibilty of the "offical M-TL data" picture being deleated in the future. That is why I "Bumped" the reply. Thanks to everybody that responded.
