I have seen many people do big time damage to pans by hitting bridges above or a tunnel.    

They also don't play well with gi-raffe telltales when raised.

I was mulling over the use of Marklin overhead with Lionels and the fact that pantographs don't play well with giraffe/brakeman telltales...

And then a little lightbulb lit!

For $2 a pop, you can buy all the overhead catenary supports your heart desires, add a bit of music wire or brass rod,  and hang Marklin catenary to your heart's content!   Single track, double track, triple track, even!  Just drill proper size holes in your roadbed and go to town!  For double and over track, just add another telltale pole on the other side of the tracks...  

Definitely a "now why didn't I think of this earlier" moment...
