Wow dogmatic66, you have chosen (arguably) the most challenging field in MRing. Not only is "in street" trackage (very tight radii curves, etc.) a "challange" but overhead wiring (and support for same) with the trolly pole gliding (unfailingly) along the wire can be a daunting task. There was an excellent book on this very subject that you may wi***o consult before taking too many steps for the present. "Traction Guidebook for Model Railroaders" edited by Mike Schafer, Kalmbach "k" books (1st. printing) 1974, 2nd. printing 1977). This was printed by Kalmbach Publishing Co. and may still be available if you check the Internet (e.g., Amazon. com) or searching (Google, Ask Jeeves, etc.) for the Kalmbach Publishing Co. URL. This is nearly a bible for those going into modelling "traction." Best of luck to you and I hope will find this info. helpful. Regards
