Updating this thread, i tore out the stuff i built for the contest, and i think i've come up with a better way to make the jig i was planning, so i hope I'll have that together soon. I have 4 packs of the tichy insulators, which means i have 96 "4" petticoat insulators.
In truth, i am happy they come in 4s. Many will notice that PRR insulators are only three petticoats, but if you look closer, the pull off wires on turnouts actually have 4. I suppose its easier to clip off than to add on!
I also received a load of books and photographs of several catenary structures around Metuchen, so i've got additional info to work with.
