Installing LGB catenary

[idlemarvel]

The original LGB Model catenary that Polo-train speaks of was made by AZB. Champex-linen has their current full line. It's enough to make you drool! Check it out if you haven't yet.

They are very nice but they're still nearly €40 for a mast and base which makes one think twice. You rarely if ever see them second hand but you do see LGB model masts occasionally which makes the cost more bearable.

Thank you very much! I always wondered where the german guys bought their curved supports from: AZ62000 catenary

I'm updating an old thread but I started it so there .

My latest indoor layout has a 90 degree crossing. I wanted to add overhead lines to the layout but pondered a bit about how to handle the crossing. This is what I came up with. You need some LGB catenary clips (#56204) or alternatively the isolating clips (#56203). The same approach would work with with any angle crossing. Here's a picture:

Finally some videos of it in operation. The first two are very short showing a loco crossing each way, and the third is a slightly longer view.
