I purchased a Walther's Pier and Traveling Crane kit (HO scale) some time ago. As I am in the process of a major expansion the kit has been placed in a safe place... So safe I'm not sure where it is .
Anyway I'm doing the design on the fly and need the "overall" measurement". According to the Walthers site the kit occupies a 12 5/8" x 5 3/4" area. Looking at the picture and going by memory this dimension seems very small. I'm thinking the size is double. can anyone please verify these dimensions.
Thanks

That's per segment Fergie. The walthers kit comes with six segments. So you can line them up making them over 36" in length.

OHhhhh.... I'm going to have to clean up some real-estate, that's a lot of dock!
I have the kit. It contains 8 sections. 4 with track bed & 4 without. Each section is 12 1/2" x 5 1/2". It depends on how you set the pier up as to what the actual footprint will be. Hope this helps.
That's not quite correct. Yes there are 8 sections, 4 with track bed and 4 without. The sections are not 12 1/2 x 5 1/2. The completed pier is 12 1/2 x 5 1/2 (consisting of 4 sections of either with or without track). There is an optional add-on pier section available also. Just wanted to make sure there is no confusion over the size. You can download the instruction sheet at Walthers for further clarification.
