Good post.  When I( first received my Acela I was not very happy.  The advertising stated it could take overhead power.  What they failed to state was it was useless as it did not have enough pressure to make good contact with the wire for overhead use.  Good job Alex.

Thanks Marty.   I contemplated trying a catenary but concluded it was a bridge to far for my skill set and I've decided to add a second level to run a trolley from the platform you see the Acela travel under above the lower level perimeter line the Acela runs on.  Glad I didn't in any case in light of your comment.  I've sent you a private message regarding the tether.
