Elliot:  Thanks for all that effort!  I ALMOST understand it.  The fotos help, but details are still vague.  Where do I get piano wire?

Matt:  Thank you, too!  I look forward to your pix.

The K&S metal rack at the hobby store. Hobby Lobby and Michaels, probably have it. Maybe Home Depot. It comes in 3' lengths You can order it up online, but the shipping is probably more than the cost of the wire. You'll need a special hardened cutter or you can use a Dremel with a cutoff wheel.

I once saw an HO layout, where the owner had used fishing line and some small weights to achieve this effect. That method took advantage of gravity.
