Am I right in thinking Oldham king street parcels in 7mm was only 12 foot long ?

What was its width please

Yes. Originally built by Ian Futers as 'Percy Street' . The layout had a viewing section of 8ft 6ins plus 3ft 6ins fiddle yard. The width was 18ins.

 

Not sure what this equates to in 00, however,I built my own 00 version some years ago which measured 9ft x 15ins.

To get 4mm scale dimensions for an O gauge layout, divide by 7 and multiply by four.

I think King St Parcels was more like 24' in length.

This is a useful link in YouTube and then you will find others in the margin once opened. With sound and exhausts, this layout attracted people all day long at the NEC a few years ago. A "Less is More" layout in my opinion.

Have a look at my Melville Street thread using essentially the Oldham St/Haymarket plan in OO,   it’s 2200 mm by 220mm  including fiddle yard and a maximum train length of 550mm. 
 

Hope that helps.
