Okay, a bit of hairsplitting/nitpicking here, but hoping someone with hand-on can guide me. <br /> <br />I'm planning to use the walthers modern roundhouse for my engine service facility. <br /> <br />I could buy the base kit + 5 add ons creating a complete half-circle of 18 stalls... which is what I'm looking for. <br /> <br />BUT, I also like the look of having the machine shop from the same series attached to the roundhouse. <br /> <br />My question is... does the machine shop take up roughly the same space as a 3 stall 'module'? or is it smaller? My head is spinning trying to read the dimensions off walthers.com, so I was wondering if anyone had 'the real deal' and could comment? <br /> <br />To do much more than a half-circle, I'd have to redo my service facility track plan. It could be done, but I'm not leaping at the chance... So I'm trying to judge whether I can do the half-circle of stalls PLUS the machine shop without it become like 2/3 of a circle... Or do I need to back off to 15 stalls and the machine shop, equalling about the half circle.
