[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by orsonroy As for caternary towers, check the Trains.com magazine index. Some time in the 1980s, Craftsman ran an article by someone who was modeling the North Shore, and scratchbuilt towers out of clear lexan rod. He painted the lattice framework onto the clear rod, and the only way you could tell they were solid was when light reflected off the unpainted portions. It was very effective modeling, and worth a look. [/quote] That would be Eric Bronsky. Another outfit came out with brass catenary towers, but they were quite expensive (for the amount of metal) and fragile. They were discussed on northshoreline.com a few months back, but those messages have probably rolled off the board by now (it's been discovered by spammers).
