Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

Awhile back I picked up an EP-5 and an EF-4 in New Haven livery and I had some time the last couple days so I figured I should have some catenary on at least one section of track. I found a file on thingyverse for the poles and printed out a bunch and after putting them up I really didn't like the looks so I decided to draw up my own and print them out . I also designed my own wires and printed them out in different lengths. I put those up and liked them. There not proto typical or operational but I don't care they look alright to me and they were easy and cheap.

These are the first set of poles.

This is my own design

Some samples of what they look like on the layout

Its not actual working catenary but I was just going for the look.
