In order to achieve a visually satisfying result, you must design the catenary
system yourself for your own particular layout. Our catenary system is based
on the Märklin C and K Track system with its 36 cm / 14-3/16” basic unit of
measurement for straight track and the two standard radii for curves R1 and R2.
Despite this, with the variety of turnout combinations and track patterns
possible, it will be quite common for you to search out your own solution for
catenary installations.
In practice this will be easy to do, since you can produce your own catenary
wire lengths from 120 mm / 4-3/4” on up.
When planning and setting up the catenary, please bear the following impor-
tant points in mind:
1. Always begin with critical points such as standard turnouts, double slip
switches, and three-way turnouts.
2. Be sure that the catenary wires are set up in a zigzag pattern on straight
track just like in the prototype. In addition to giving a better appearance,
it will also help clean the catenary wire and pantographs.
3. Depending on the track system you have selected, you may have pro-
blems involving the best location for a catenary mast and the turnout
mechanism. If the turnout mechanism can be moved, then the catenary
mast should be given priority in deciding on its location.
4. A feeder mast with connections to the locomotive power supply should be
installed every 2 to 3 meters / approximately 6-1/2 to 10 feet on a catenary
system that is supplying power to electric locomotives.
