Billy, <br /> <br />What prototype are you planning to model??? I scratchbuilt a trolley style overhead system using parts from O'Toole LIne and instructions from George Huckaby at Customtraxx. I ran Marklin locomotives taking power from the catenenary wire using pantographs. They ran very well. Construction was very time consuming an pretty frustrating at times to get it to look right, but in the end it was a very satisfying project. Click on my link and look at the photo of the electric loco in the weeds for an example of my wires.
