Coup,

Go to Olsen's Toy Train Parts Library - http://www.olsenstoy.com/ and select postwar accessories and the 345. Here is the first page link;

The drawing shows the path of the string from the drive belt through all the pulleys. 

It also shows the string as 43 1/2 inches long.

Hope this helps.
