PLEASE READ THE FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION BELOW

OO Gauge SET E6-9 - product code 4WH0900609

This set E6-9 includes parts to construct One (1) I-Beam type OHLE structure that has a span to cater for up to 2 (two) tracks. 

Two Mast Bases are included in the kit, with four magnets to fit into 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 - This kit is suitable for fitting Wire Supported Type Registration Arms (not included) which may be purchased separately if desired.

The special Registration Arms and Tall Catenary Wire Supports set for E6-9 is available to Purchase Separately as follows:-

• SET E6-15 - Two Single Wire Supported Type Registration Arms and two Tall Catenary Wire Supports (magnetic type to allow fitting of Peco type OHL wires) note [wires are not included] - Product code 4WH0900615

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]
