<p>[quote user="blue streak 1"]Any idea what the new Gottard base tunnel loading guage is ? [/quote]</p> <p>The distance of buidings etc. to track center is ruled by Swiss loading gauge <br />EBV 4. Its width is roughly 16'-5'', the height is a bit difficult.</p> <p>Height of contact wire is 17'-8.6''. The necessary space above the contact wire depends on type of catenary.</p> <p>The outline of the rail equipment is ruled in EBV O4: width is 10'-9.5'', max. height is 15'-5''. In the last 7'' no movable parts are allowed and everything needs to be grounded.</p> <p>I hope that helps.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
