terrysoham Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have a dimensioned (or scaleable) drawing of the ohe shown in the photo attached. I am wanting to have a go at making several for my layout, Neely. Thanks Edited January 14, 2018 by terrysoham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrysoham Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thank you for the pointer but, unfortunately, not quite the type shown in the photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrysoham Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks to the earlier poster, I have now found what I am looking for. One other question, I assume that the metric dimensions shown on Clive Mortimore's drawings are scaled at 4mm/1ft? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thank you for the pointer but, unfortunately, not quite the type shown in the photo. This is the closest I have at the moment. Thanks to the earlier poster, I have now found what I am looking for. One other question, I assume that the metric dimensions shown on Clive Mortimore's drawings are scaled at 4mm/1ft? Yes, they are for 4mm modellers.

batrapyr Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Terry, Given the all too frequent problems with OHE between Ely and Kings Lynn, I would venture to suggest that you might like to consider modelling a 'Rail Replacement' bus service in the car park!

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted January 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 14, 2018 We haven't had any OHL issues this year I'll have you know!

Best regards Barry (a regular user of services out of Ely) Yes, we have given thought to rushing around the front of the layout and plonking a couple of coaches in the car park when we've done a boo-boo and got ourselves a SPAD.

bécasse Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I am sure that you know it already but it is probably helpful to anyone reading these posts in the future to add a reminder that the overhead wire zig-zags relative to the track centre-line (note the displacement on the drawing) so that contact with the wire doesn't wear a groove in the pantograph.
