MarcD Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm building a 7mm micro layout and I was hoping to put some coal drops under one of the sidings. My question is how much of a drop is the minimum height for a set of working drops? Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted June 11, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 11, 2019 Don't think there is a minimum, you need to get in to shovel the coal out and you probably need to move the hopper off without dragging too much coal away. The ones at Beamish are very low, I can't walk under without ducking, Egton Bridge are around 10' (and set on a platform about 4' above the yard. I would go for 6'-8' otherwise it might look a bit tall on a micro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
