Andrew, I scratchbuilt some catenary in an old trolley style on my last layout. It is not for the faint of heart, but it wasn't that difficult. I got frustrated soldering tiny bridle wires on a curve. In the end it turned out great. The poles and wires looked cool and it was powered as well. I used my setup with pantographs, which simplified things tremendously. I was inspired by seeing a live demonstration of wire hanging by George Huckaby at Customtraxx (they have a web site). They have a great pamphlet on constructing trolley lines. O' Toole Lines carries wire and all kinds of cool traction parts. Have Fun. Guy Cantwell
