Over Head Cat heights

[big_b]

Was looking at setting up an electric route.So i layed a bit of track & picked 3 loco's at random & stuck cat over them.
When in driver the pant heights were different as some weren't heigh enough to reach.tried a few different cats but height seemed to be about the same.

Question! Is there a a preferred cat to use or standard height as loco pants seem to differ in height?

Catenary heights do differ, but there are sooooo many on the DLS and none of them detail the actual conductor wire height, so finding one to match a particular loco/unit can be a real pain. You can always adjust the conductor wire height by raising/lowering each catenary spline point - laborious though.

If, however, you are running loco/units with differing pantograph heights, then the problem is can resolved by changing the pantograph kuid in the config file.

Trial and error, though. So be prepared to spend some time on this.
