Affordable injection molded HO catenary - how expensive would it be to tool up for just the basics, and leave it up to the modeler to kitbash any unique pieces they'd need ? Also, there's no real need to have live overhead wiring esp/ w/ modern DCC controls. All we'd need is some overhead that looked 'real' and would be durable enough to take a hand bumping against it when re-railing a car, uncoupling, or doing some cleaning or maintainence of the surrounding track or scenery. How about a stretch-type of very thin material that would give and take a bit when accidently bumped into? Or make the catenary out of a semi-flexible material and/or a flexible mounting system to the table work, so the entire deal - at least in a localized area - would bend out of the way when bumped into? I'd also like to see the following in HO(and before I complete my kitbashes and upgrades) - Baldwin Shark A&B units - Proto 1K or 2K, Spectrum, or Atlas? Little River 2-4-4-2 (Proto 2K or Spectrum) USRA Light 4-6-2 that could be modified to specific RR prototypes -Proto 2K or Spectrum / not BLI - want to be able to afford more than one ! N&W steam - smaller stuff please - Spectrum or Proto 2K (probably wishful thinking) L&N cabooses - injection molded or affordable resin conversion kits Southern cabooses - ditto above steam/diesel era freightequipment lettered for L&N & NC&StL - Proto 2K please ! USRA 55 ton hoppers lettered for L&N (late '40s-early'50s era schemes) inexpensive and accurate '40s/ '50s model cars & trucks (no interiors needed) '20-'30s era 'Craftsman' residential bungalows (similar to new Atlas kits) *1 '20-'30s era 'Four-square' style two story residences (smaller version of old Spectrum kit) *2 * 1&*2 - possibly done in modular wall / doors / windows, front porch, roof sections, chimneys, foundations, fashion not unlike DPM approach to industrial / commercial bldgs. (Modeler furnishes all the unique details as needed.) Heck, if there's sufficient interest in this, I'll do them in resin and offer them for sale !!??
