"It looks like its going to be a bit long..."

Opening it up
I've been on the lookout for some small coils to try out my DCC uncoupling idea for a few months now. I'm looking for a coil thats about 5mm long and up to 6-7mm in diameter. Last week I discovered something promising; A relay in a 14 pin integrated circuit box. I ordered some and they arrived today.
Well, the size looked good, but how to find out just how big it is? Using my most delicate hammer I then attempted to prise the coil out of its plastic coffin.
