Some folks use spandex thread from a fabric/crafts store. Personally, I have never seen realistic looking model wires on a layout. They are always too tight.

It's tough to get the right sag although IIRC there is a technique of adding a thin coating of white glue to the threads and adding a tiny weight to the center until it dries.
