OO Gauge SET E8-1 - product code 4WH0900801

This set E8-1 includes parts to construct One (1) detailed A-Frame type structure that has a span to cater for up to 2 (two) tracks. 

Four Mast Bases are included in the kit, with four magnets to fit into the two of the bases and OHLE structure. The use of magnets allows the OHLE structures to be easily removed and re-fitted on your layout.

PLEASE NOTE - the registration arms are NOT included and should be purchased separately.

Registration Arms and Catenary Wire Supports for the A-Frame type Structure available to Purchase Separately are as follows:-

• SET E8-10 - Two Single Type Registration Arms and two Catenary Wire Supports (magnetic type to allow fitting of Peco type OHL wires) note [wires are not included] - Product code 4WH0900710

All parts are supplied unpainted on sprues. Preparation and assembly with glue is required. Before painting it is recommended to apply a light coat of primer. Instructions are available on-line or paper copy by special request only at the time of ordering. Glue and paint is not included.

Regarding the spacing of OHLE masts, the real railway mast spacing can be vary between about 20metres and 70metres which equates to 260 to 920mm in OO Gauge. In general mast spacing is likely to be closer together at junctions and on sharper curves.

The Peco wires are available in the following lengths 200mm, 260mm, 340mm, 380mm and 500mm, so if you are fitting wires then it makes sense to space your masts to suit the Peco wire lengths. [wires are not included in this kit]

• Overall height above baseboard (including bases) - 103mm

• Overall length of structure (across the tracks) - 156mm

• Nominal Span distance between inner edge of Bases - 130mm

• Overall width of structure - 40mm
