Are you drawing this part "by eye" or measuring, or working from a scan?
Scanning it in and then blowing up the scan to really high resolution may be
a good way to get the dimensions closer.

hoped it would (I've got the set that it's from, but it's in storage right

could work from it would be a much better job.  In fact... that pic of the
train should be plenty to get me much closer to the mark.

Thanks
