Green_Elite-Cab,
i admire your skills of scratchbuilding catenary poles and to raise catenary wire.
On German layouts catenary is not uncommon. There are two manufacturers which sell catenary compoments.

I know that is not exactly what you want, but there may be some interesting parts.
The Sommerfeldt catalogue is online as pdf and there are some parts e.g. prefabricated catenary wire, insulators, hangers etc.
In former times i built catenary on layouts too and i knew about the problems of raising a correct lined overhead wire in relativy tight radii. And to make the pantographs properly work in this curves.
