SPACING THE SUPPORTS AND HANGING THE WIRES
OLE supports are erected to suit the track location and the instructions of the planning engineer. Identical track arrangements can have different support arrangements. Look at the prototype and examine photographs to see how supports are arranged.
On straight track maximum spacing is 73m, 0.49m (19.5inches) in ‘N’ gauge. A more typical spacing is 63m, 0.42m (17inches). Supports are closer on curves and across points.
Contact wire height is typically 4.1m (13ft 6in), maximum is 5m (16ft 6in). Model 25kV locos often need the contact wire to be higher and height should be checked against the model locos and adjusted if needed.
Supports can be erected without wires. This allows access to clean the track and put stock on. If hanging wires, guitar strings are a good choice. These do not tarnish, have a low coefficient of expansion and do not kink if caught, but spring back into place.
