Now you guys had to know I was going to chime in on this one...
Scratch built is a great way to go. You can do it just like you want at a fraction of the cost. Links to my system are below. The first details what I did and exactly how I did it. It should be pretty obvious that I favored function over form, but the wire and supports themselves are spot on accurate. AFter that are some YouTube videos.

Also check out Marty Fitzhenry's post as well as Don McCuaig ('Scale Rail' up here) for systems that have much more scenery than mine and perform just as well.

I followed your original post with much interest. I used your mast design as you can see in my video.
