For the first show I do this for, I think I am going to go with just the poles and leave the wire out, but eventually I would like (simulated) wire if I can suss out how to do it.

What abour http://peeron.com/inv/parts/342c01? It comes in lengths of up to 23L so you might have to join it midway.

Interesting... How to join it in a smooth and clean way? That seems to present the same problem as how to attach the string, you end up with something sticking below the plane of the string that the trolley pole or pantograph would (if actually engaged, I plan to run them a bit below as it’s non functional) snag on...

(...) For trolleys maybe you could use (URL) or (URL) which protrude only a little. Catenary would probably be more difficult, can't think of a good (LEGO only) way to do those. ROSCO (14 years ago, 14-Oct-10, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
