Catenary & Contact Wires

Recommended Posts

Any ideas what I can use for Catenary and Contact Wires ? I have seen some threads here on advanced topics like making sparks etc. but nothing on the wires themselves.

 

I am using standard KATO poles as below.

 

I have read that using a fishing line may work, but will thank you for your ideas.

There is a manufacturer catenary wires that stretches (quite a lot) without breaking.  The name escapes me at the moment.  Comes in different colors too.

 

I'll search around and repost if I can find it.  They are still around.  They always exhibit at the Amherst train show very year at Springfield, Mass.

 

EDIT:

Found it.  EZ Line!

I think you are thinking EZ line. Good stuff. Doesnt seem to attract dust the way most threads [even synthetics] can tend to. You can get a bit of a drape with it and best is it flexes some if you hit it.

 

Cheers
