I'm actually working on a catenary concept using brass rods and Lionel gi-raffe poles...

Looking forward to seeing the end results .  I’ve always loved seeing toy trains running off a live catenary system. So much so that I too made my own for my O gauge Bowser trolley  using a combination of All-thread and Marklin HO catenary stamped wire .  That 4x8 set ran flawlessly I’m happy to report .  Then I made another working catenary system for my standard gauge kitbashed MU cars . It too worked as planned .  The top photo shows the Marklin wire and the bottom photo shows the system I cobbled together for the standard gauge using shelving supports.  I used the wall brackets for the poles , angle brackets to hold the poles to the layout , self supports for the messenger arms and for the wire I used inverted rails from old track I disassembled.  Fun projects! 05E3E726-E866-470C-B07F-817A2027222DD66116A4-DDD1-40CC-9279-0910BD1D70F9
