Add some detail to your OHLE fitted trackwork with these Red BondsOO GaugePack of 6 Red Bonds (unpainted) - 4 x Connection Anchor Boxes and 2 x Post Termination Anchors (SET E5-4)Pack of 6 Red Bonds (unpainted) - 4 x Connection Anchor Boxes and 2 x Post Termination Anchors
OO Gauge (SET E5-4)
Power for electric trains is collected from the OHLE conductor wire by the pantograph; the traction return current is passed through the wheels to the return rail, from there, it is carried through Red Bonds to the return conductor via lineside Connection Anchor Boxes.
Red Bonds are therefore an extremely important part of the OHLE infrastructure, and are seen a regular intervals along the lineside.SET E5-4 is supplied unpainted; a light coat of primer is recommended before painting / weathering to suit your lineside. They Bond Cables from the running rail and the Connection Anchors are always painted Red to make them easily distinguishable for track workers.

2 x inspection equipment to mount on a trackside retaining wall
2 x inspection equipment to mount to a dedicated equipment mastThe safe operation of electric trains relies on the good condition of the pantograph; modern optical inspection equipment is used to monitor any wear to the pantograph carbon strips and can pick early signs of pantograph damage that may later cause problems. The data from such equipment is used to inform train maintenance schedules.
The equipment is normally mounted on both sides of the line pointing towards the overhead wire above each running line.
Supplied unpainted; a light coat of primer is recommended before painting.

Add some detail to your OHLE fitted trackwork with these APC (Auto Power Control) magnet boxes.OO GaugePack of 8 (unpainted) - SET E5-7.This pack includes 8 APC Magnet Boxes (unpainted) - SET E5-7
Overhead Electrified lines are split into electrically separate sections (often up to 30 miles long) separated by Neutral Sections. APC (Auto Power Control) magnets are used to ensure the power draw from a train is switched off when passing through the Neutral Section to prevent overhead line damage.
APC magnets are normally mounted to the sleeper ends on both sides of the running line 30 metres before and 10 metres after a Neutral Section as follows-
Each overhead wire neutral section can be up to 45metres (approx. 2 x Mk3 Coach lengths) long and is split up into the following sections,• firstly there is a 30 metre run-in, this is from the first set of APC magnets to the insulated part of the Neutral Section, • secondly there is a Dead Section (up to 5 metres long), which includes ceramic insulators then a dead section then more ceramic insulators, • lastly there is a 10 metre run off, this is from the end of the insulated section to the second set of APC magnets.An optional extra to go with your APC magnets is our Neutral Section trackside signs which can be found here (Product 4WH0603701).SET E5-7 - Supplied unpainted; a light coat of primer is recommended before painting / weathering to suit your lineside. They are often yellow to make them easily distinguishable for track workers.Note that this product represents the APC magnet boxes, they are not actually magnetic!

What Are Raise And Lowering Pantographs Signs Used For?
Railway pantograph raise lower signs are signs that are used to indicate to train operators when they should raise or lower the pantograph on their electric locomotive or train. The pantograph is an apparatus that collects electric power from overhead lines and transfers it to the train's electric motor.
These signs are typically used in areas where overhead lines are present, such as electrified railway tracks, and where there are sections of the track where the overhead lines are not energized. The signs indicate to the train operator when to raise or lower the pantograph so that it does not come into contact with the overhead lines that are not energized.
The signs can be in the form of a pictogram or text, and are usually placed at a sufficient distance before the section of track where the pantograph needs to be raised or lowered. Train operators must be vigilant in observing and obeying these signs to avoid damage to the pantograph and overhead lines, and to ensure the safety of the train and its passengers.
What Are Railway Coasting Signs?
Railway coasting signs are signs that are placed along railway tracks to inform train operators that they should coast, or reduce their speed and coast, without using the locomotive's power. These signs are typically used when approaching areas where it is important to reduce noise, such as near residential areas or wildlife habitats, or where it is necessary to conserve fuel or reduce wear on the locomotive.
It is important for train operators to obey coasting signs as failing to do so can result in excessive noise, damage to the locomotive, and potential safety hazards.
