Modular, as in small sections of layout?, only with overhead wire? If that is the case, I saw these at Trainfest, in Milwaukee.

Wish I had taken a detail shot of how the wire was connected at each module boundary.

Yeah, it gets tougher with the Heavy Electrics as well. With a trolley layout, its just simple wiring. The Heavy electrics have more wires to hook together, and are not nearly as forgiving. The flast pantograph shoes easily catch on wire imperfections.
