Thanks for the link.  It will take me a while to digest some of the information on your site.  I will contact you through your site.

Combine Susan's wonderful work with some photos that you can find on the internet. Many times there is a video of it in operation. That will show how the track is aligned and bring it all together.

I bought RR Track several years ago with the Postwar Accessory library. I use tubular track, too, so it's been invaluable for planning layouts.

I am finally beginning to lay out my track on a 5' x 9' layout using Post War O gauge accessories.  Thanks to Susan Deats and others  I have dimensions for most of the accessories I plan to have on my layout.  One of the first problems I ran into was the spacing between adjacent tracks differs for several of the accessories.

97 Coal Elevator uses track on 2 sides with 12" spacing required.

164 Log Loader uses track on 2 sides with 10 3/4" spacing required.

342 Culvert Loader and 345 Culvert Unloader has track running underneath with 6" spacing required on one side.

456 Coal Ramp when used with 397 Coal loader requires 7 3/4" spacing between adjacent tracks

Other accessories have differing footprints but should fit in since they only need one side to be adjacent to the track.  I will post my planned layout for comments after I get confirmation that the spacing above is correct.

If you have these accessories operating on your layout, please confirm that I have the spacing requirement correct.  Thanks
