Size of Walthers HO conveyors
Posted by PED on Sunday, March 10, 2019 12:17 PM

Walthers makes several HO conveyor kits that can be used to extend the conveyors in various HO kits. I need some conveyors for my N scale structures but Walthers does not make a similar kit in N scale. Trying to see if I can use the HO conveyors or if they will be too big.

Can someone with Walthers HO conveyors give me some measurements to work with? One kit is the 933-3518 and it is for 21" of conveyor but they do not provide and height or width of the conveyor. This extension kit is supposedly the same size as the conveyor that come in a normal mining building kit so a measurement does not need to be from the extension kit.

Paul, I have the kit, still in the package, the overall O/D size of the conveyor housing is 6' high, and 6' 6" wide, plus the added height of the arched roof.

Inside width of the conveyor floor is 5' 6".

The 21" is the actual length of the two conveyor sections that come in the kit, two 10 1/2" sections.

Mike,

That is too big for my use as I expected. Thanks for the measurements.

Paul, I also have this kit, 933-3519, and it comes with two much smaller conveyors.

I measured them in N scale.

Each conveyor is 64' long,  the sides are 3' 6" high, and overall width is 5'.

Mike,

Thanks but I do not want the open style conveyor.
