Dave, which Marklin catenary system are we talking about? Marklin used to make a tinplate-type catenary system using stamped metal "wires", loosely resembling German type catenary. With the introduction of the new C-Gleis track in the 1990´s Marklin also put a new and much more prototypical catenary system into the market, for which they off a variety of different lengths "wires". IIRC, Marklin´s and Viessmann´s systems are identical. In any case, if you plan to use the Marklin system, stay with Marklin´s "wires"! Of course, there is still Sommerfeldt, a much more realistic system, available in many different styles, following either German, Austrian, Swiss, Italian, Belgian etc - prototypes, which are distinctly different! Sommerfeldt is something like the BMW or Mercedes among the catenary systems, but rather expensive and extremely complicated to install.
