Hi Larry,
One of our club members made some poles and placed a wire on it just like the
'real' electification. Il looked nice, BUT ...
- it takes a whole time to wire up on events.
- Take care that the wire doesn't get messed up.
- be sure that the poles are far enough from the train / coaches so that you
don't hit them - especially in curves or when a train derails. If so, the poles
fall down with all consequences.
Not that i want to scare you, but it has it's drawbacks too.
success with it.
