As some of you may know, our club is in process of building full working PRR style catenary on our layout.
After the towers are in place, we use lengths of code 100 rail as 'cheater' catenary, while each built-up section of the final catenary is being soldered together.
Serving two purposes, to test the electrical system strength, and to give us some operating interest in the meantime.
The actual catenary sections are made up from hard phosper bronze wire.
