Catenary should be tensioned in sections.
Trolley modellers used to have little brass plates like frogs with holes in them at the ends of modules and a piece of wire would be hooked between them. You might be able to contrive something similar for catenary, especially since you don't have to worry about poles tracking along the wire.
Or a connecting piece with hooks and loops and the cat is tensioned in the middle of the module after it's in place.
