Overhead Line Equipment

[ClikC]

Apologies if this the the wrong section.

Been doing some research into OLE over the weekend, and I came across this interesting document:

Use of gb mainland overhead line equipment ole support structures.pdf

A very good explanation of all the various types of OLE used since 1954, right up to the present day, complete with map breakdown. Pictures and Drawings of some of the more modern OLE systems.

Not quite comprehensive coverage of OLE equipment in the UK since 1954 as, understandably, there is no coverage at all of the "tramway" style wiring used at one period to compliment third-rail electrification in yard areas where electrified rails were considered an unacceptable safety risk. I also wonder if some of the legacy 1500 V equipment subsequently converted to 25 kV (sometimes via 6,25 kV) is adequately covered.

Nevertheless it is certainly a potential useful document for OLE modellers.
