Catenary

[D.R.Rosser]

Could anyone be so kind as to point me to some good information, especially with some clear pictures or illustrations, of a basic catenary system. It would not have to actually pass current to the loco, just looking like it was real would be fine. Any suggestions or leads on info sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave

These should get you started. The bottom one contains illustrations of how the overheads look. Just type "overhead caternary systems into any search engine.

All of this info will be in any decent book on traction lines in your LHS, too.
