Ask Walther's customer service

Ask Walther's customer service, email the question, I have always have gotten an answer.

I did a google search for

I did a google search for this and found they should be 2" spacing under the tower and 2 1/2" to the third external track. I got same info for both structures

I recall wondering the same

I recall wondering the same thing when I was doing some of my initial layout planning. SURPRISING it is not included footprint dwg, nor the instructions ??

Dimensions? Go to the Walthers web site

While they don't explicitly state the center to center spacing for the modern coaling tower, you can quickly get the overall dimensions from the measurements on the website, download the footprint and instruction sheets available online, then use a bit of deduction to come up with a pretty accurate determination of your track spacing.

For the wooden tower, the website states "Servicing track centers are 2-1/2" 6.4cm Hoist track is 3-1/2" 8.9cm from centerline of track under the tower."

From My Layout

I have the aforementioned wooden coaling tower on my layout. The center to center track spacing between the center track and the covered coal resupply track is 3.5". The center to center track spacing from the center track to the outside uncovered coaling chutes should be 2.5" but can be as much as 3".

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the help.

Guess I was blind.  Now I see the info on the Walthers website.  Apparently their customer service does not know it's there because the answer I received was essentially "I don't know."

I'll lay the two tracks leading to the turntable at 2.5" centers.  The third track will come later.
