    I’m trying to add an Ash Pit with conveyor on my layout but I’m confused about how and where the cinders & ash are disposed of. The kit shows a chute, but I can’t tell how far the chute reaches
    I’m asking this because I want to put a track with a gondola behind the Conveyor Tower and I need to know the maximum spacing needing for the tracks.

    No pictures but I made mine with 23 scale ft track spacing. I partially assembled the tower and chute, and eyeballed where the chute would line up.

    Thanks, I was hoping to have parallel tracks to support a Coaling Tower and the Ash Pit in line with each other, but it doesn’t look like its going to work.
    I have to come up with something else, because the Coaling Tower is a lot wider than that.

    Walthers has the instructions on their site for this kit. Not sure if that helps.

    Thanks, I did download that, but it wasn’t much help.

    I decided to just buy one and see how it fits.

    This was probably a silly thread and I regret even have starting it. I should have just waited for it to come in.
