....I wouldn't be asking if anyone here has the length (inches) of the old Atlas stone viaduct? Or where to find that?

Arches are 2-5/32" center-to-center and 3'1/4" high. Arch assembly without piers is 1" high.

So that comes out to 9", right?

Thanks ... but this does point out the drawbacks of only being able to get RR models through the mail. You can't look at them to get the size and you really can't see at once what the whole thing looks like. When looking for structures and such to fit  specific places we have on our layouts that is a big handicap to not having local hobby shops. Maybe when they have holographic internet ...

True... It is part of the trade off we pay for all the conveniences online shopping affords us (Lower prices, greater volume, larger inventory)

I did find the answer in at least two places with 30 seconds of googling for what that's worth. and communities like this are an amazing resource if we all participate and appreciate them...

Yes, a number of sites had dimensions...and tons of pics.   In this case no super-hi-rez versions but plenty of large photos of both the item itself and some installations on layouts.
