Catenarys?

[rastis]

G'day! :wave:

Is there a thread on using catenarys? Both spline and trackside? I just need to know how to use them correctly. I'm struggling to use them, whenever I put them around a curve, the locomotive's pantogrpah doesn't touch the wire, it's VERY frustrating. I also need to know how to make them divide at junctions etc.

Cheers!

Jake.

re catenarys

I use the single pole spline type with wire generally used for light rail transit, and you need them spaced more closely together on curves. Just add some spline points on the curves and additional poles should appear, then adjust as needed.

Also take a look at some built-in routes with electrified heavy rail to get some more ideas.
