Thanks for the replies! NHRRJET: I looked up 26 gauge and it's about 0.016" diameter - so as you say might be a bit large, but it would seem to be a good starting point. Interesting about the NH catenary - I've seen pictures of the early triangular double messenger/trolley, but had thought the rest was similar to the VGN and PRR. The one 'look' it would be nice to capture, which I think NH shared with the VGN and PRR and I saw in the pictures of your layout, is the inclined messenger wire on curves where it's canted to the outside of the curve. How difficult did you find this to construct? DSchmitt: Thanks for the links - I'd seen the NCat site before, but sorry to hear about Hal Reigger. I'd hadn't seen the Sommerfeldt stockist though, so I'll take a look!
