But my question is this: I have been playing around some with the Viessmann catenary and I think the wires seems a little low, what do you think? They "should" be at the right height on the pictures.

One of the main differences I have found between current Marklin and Viessmann catenary is the mast bases. Viessmann bases are close to the ground. Marklin bases are the same as the 'old' catenary. If you want higher wires, just switch to using Marklin masts with the included bases. (I could send you my extras) I prefer marklin masts with Viessmann wire and bases.
