Alright, i haven't got any new photos, but i have now installed the Steady Wires and Hangers, with their 3-disc insulator details. Apart from some additional details (angle braces, grab irons, signal line arms), these catenary structures are ready to hang wires.
I would like to build two more Catenary structures (for a total of 4) before i start hanging the wire. I may have to pick up some additional pieces at the local hobby shop, but it looks like i can get away with what i have for now, if i really wanted to.
Either way, nothing stops me from putting together a few more poles. It looks like a pole with a single Transmission line is about 60 feet, and that doesn't look to bad, so I'm going to stick with that measurement for the "Standard" poles (the poles pictured are MUCH higher to get over the highway bridge).
These next few will be a bit challenging since they are on curves, and they are also going to need to have pull offs for various switches attached to them.
