3d printed PRR catenary Poles in HO and N - ac_catenary - 01-14-2016

PRR catenary is now available on a massive scale through a 3d printing company called shapeways. see link below

http://www.shapeways.com/shops/designdyne?section=Catenary+HO+Scale+&s=0

All types and sizes of PRR catenary is available from K braced 2 and 4 track structures to Lattice and Beam signal bridges These are not kits. They are all one piece. All you have to do is paint them. They are also designed to support a metal catenary system. These structures are very detailed with rivets, grab irons, brackets, rain caps, gusset stiffeners, insulators and signal lines. They are currently available in HO and N scale. I have designed these structures primarily for my own layout, but they are available for sale to whomever who wants them.

Steve,

Have you considered doing some of the more lattice-looking Reading Company catenary structures? I'd be interested in those.

Hey Chris, yes the reading lattice structures are on the list.

Catenary List
1. PRR lattice structures at North Phil, Trenton and New brunswick 4 tracks ( usually right next to factories) close to ROW
2. Large Lattice Signal bridge 5-6 tracks with staggered transmission gantry at North Phila ( usually right next to factories) close to ROW
3 Port road and Trenton cut Off 2 phase 2 track brackets
4. Typical PRR lattice Substation gantry assembly, transformers and control building
5. Reading RR lattice structure 4 track (both versions)
6. Reading RR typical portal catenary structure 2 track
