Ben,
Hi. A couple years ago I installed caternary over most of my layout. The
support masts are all Lego elements but the wire is not. I use HO scale
Maerklin pantographs to pick-up power on the engines (see

down into the motor case which is modified with a switch underneath so that
current can be selected from overhead or track.
