[quote user="zeis96"] I was looking at the dimensions for the New River Mining Co on Walthers website. It says it is 12.5" X 9". Is this correct because on some of your pictures it looks bigger.  I'm trying to see if I have room for it. Thanks,Aaron [/quote]Not just that but the total area served by the complex. You see, you need empty hoppers at top where they can be drifted into position to load any of three (OR 5 or whatever number of tipples) you will need a run around for the mine turn engine, usually a Mallet or similar and room to stash loaded hoppers out of the way.Luckily you can creatively stick a steam era mine on it;s own branch and into a corner somewhere without too much trouble.I have one of these kits for the mine but it is unopened at this time. Last Chance Mine #9 needs real estate first and am working on that.
