Thanks, what's your lead in track look like, a wye or just an 072 switch?
Mine is off of two o-60 turnouts end to end so thats no help.
After measuring again. The rest of my fastrack layout is 6" centers. The two tracks to the coal tower are 5 1/2".
It looks like you could easily go closer together i.e. 5" centers and the chute will still line up fine.
I'm "guessing " possibly two o-72 half curves off of the wye might get you in the ballpark.
In fact heres an old thread of yours with a photo showing the o-72 wye with 2 o-72 half curves. It looks close to the 5" epescially given the tape is right at the half curve joint.
