The major hurdle for any manufacturer is what style catenary do they offer and what will people buy.
The tall 1930's high voltage AC PRR style with complicated compound and inclined trolley/messenger wire? Milwaukee Road? New Haven "AC Gilbert" lattice poles? South Shore with the angled NIPSCO cross arms? Modern eurostyle constant tension catenary?
Lots of variables and then how to compress it into something suitable for O Gauge 3 rail layouts.
