There are two major types of power pickups that work on overhead wire.
See my site, in the glossary section.
A trolley is a kind of train... but anyway, any sprung single pole is a
trolley pole, no matter what sort of train it's on. The LEGO metroliner
uses a single arm pantograph, not a trolley pole. Remember, pantographs
are more suitable for high speed running under catenary, and trolley
poles are more suitable for low speed running under single wire.
Hope that helps.
As a general comment, I think your trolley does a good job of capturing
a Brill single truck prototype. Did you know that if you're careful, you
can separate the glass from the door, reverse it, and glue it back in?
if you do, now you have a door that opens the other way. Not that **I**
would ever do that. :-)
