There are several, mostly European brands of catenary systems available. The most comprehensive one (and also the most difficult one to install) is <a href="https://www.eurorailhobbies.com/sommerfeldt.asp" target="_blank">Sommerfeldt</a>/Germany, followed by <a href="https://www.eurorailhobbies.com/products.asp?mn=11&ca=32&sc=HO" target="_blank">Viessmann</a>, which is a little less complicated. With both systems, you can built a working carenary system on your layout, which works fine with DC, but not with DCC. Last, but not least, there is Dapol/UK. Dapol´s system is designed for OO scale, ´which is slightyl larger than HO scale, but that should not be an issue. US prototype catenary has a larger vertical clearance than continental European catenary, so Dapol is also a viable choice! Dapol catenary is available directly from Dapol and other UK dealers. A lot closer to the US style catenary are trhe products from <a href="http://www.modelmemories.com/hocat.htm" target="_blank">Model Memories Products</a>. I cannot comment on how difficult it is to install.
