Alright, I'm bumping this thread. I've taken a LONG break on this project, and i still am to an extent- I'm trying to get my Silverliner III EMUs in operating condition for my local club's train show (its already looking good, my only concern being whether or not it has the power to get up hill on a 4% grade pulling the second car as a dummy (for now, eventually i will power it with another Stanton Drive).
I'm thinking that will be done by tomorrow night, and so the next major project on my table will be getting this catenary back on track. Once the next pair of structures are finished (and the poles/crossbeam are cut, just need to cut the "V" of the K brace and add transmission/signal arms), i can anchor in the "inner" mainline track across the back where i usually take photos. The outermost track i'm not sure so much, as its the only "unbroken" length of wire, and i'm not sure where each section will end. If it doesn't end conveniently passed the outer most catenary poles, then i won't be able to keep the wire pulled tight enough.
