N scale Catenary based off the type NJ Transit uses to replace damaged legacy poles along some of their lines. This particular one is based on Photos of one in Peapack NJ. Depending on preference it can be printed either parted out or as a single piece but for best results I suggest using the parted version, locator holes for the insulators are found on the pole, hanger and hanger mount are beveled against each other for better location. 5mm hole in base provides a place to glue a rare earth magnet for layout mounting. Using magnets generally avoids issues with accidentally destroying the print during layout maintenance.

Minimum height is set to allow clearance for a Bachmann GG1 on Unitrak with its pantographs up to clear the model. True height from base to hanger is 64mm approx.
