Dear David and Brian: No, I had not seen this. I'm on vacation this week visiting Mason City and Clear Lake (Iowa Traction) and will be back next week. A real answer needs to wait until then.

Hello, my name is Brian. Before anyone asks, I have modeled in HO-gauge for quite some time, and am switching to S-gauge in part because S-gauge is almost the exact same size as the miniatures I use for my historical wargaming, and in part because I have trouble working in the smaller scales. O is a little *too* big for my limited space. Here's the problem. I already know that I'm going to freelance a railroad, that I want to work in scale, and where to get most of the supplies I will need. I'm going to start a traction railroad, along the lines of the Iowa Terminal. It'll be traction, but set in the modern era. I realize this is kind of odd, but that's what freelancing is for, right? However, I have a couple of questions I cannot find answers for. Does anyone know what the benefits of using trolley poles versus pantographs would be, and if you can use pantographs with trolley wire, or if I would have to use catenary instead? Likewise, are there any good resources to show me how to install catenary? I have found a great deal of information for standard trolley wire, but almost nothing for catenary, save where I can get the supplies... - Brian Empanger The poll results are in.......
