OO Gauge SET E3-8 - product code 4WH0900308
This set E3-8 includes parts to construct five (5) basic SERIES 1 - Single Insulated Cantilever (SIC) type Mast structures that have MAGENTIC type Registration Arms.
PLEASE NOTE that this kit includes Magnets to support the fitting of Peco type OHL contact wires, NOTE the contact wires are NOT included.
PLEASE NOTE the Magnets will need to be fitted into the Registration Arms
Five Pile Driven style Bases are included in the kit with height spacers and magnets to fit into the base and OHLE structures. The use of magnets allows the OHLE structures to be easily removed and re-fitted on your layout.
Also included is a mast spacer tool, this will help you position the mast the correct distance from the track.
All parts are supplied unpainted; before painting it is recommended to apply a light coat of primer.
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]

Maximum height above baseboard (including base) - 108mm
Overall length of Outer type structure (across the track) - 66mm
