Hayashi Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Does anyone know whether Greenmax 2517 tunnel portal was designed for Tomix or Kato? It's 50mm to the bottom of the catenary, but I can't tell whether the catenary dimension is for 33mm or 37mm double track. The height dimension is online, but the aspect ratio of every illustration is off, so I can't discern the other dimension. Maybe the 2mm wrong spacing isn't that noticeable. I'll let the forum experts comment on that. I'm not a rivet counter, but I don't like things to look odd. Link to comment
Kiha66 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Full size centenary practice is to vary the location of the wire over the track in a Zig Zag pattern to cause even wear on train pantographs. I wouldn't worry about the location of the hangers, in some places where clearances are restricted they are moved beyond what would be normal to allow older tunnels to be electrified without having to rebore the tunnel, or to allow a smaller tunnel size. They should look just fine as is with either system. Link to comment

railsquid Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I have one on a curved section of Tomix double track; the catenary supports aren't centred over the rails but it looks fine to me. kato-115-211-series by Rail Squid, on Flickr 2 Link to comment
