Where do I find it, and are there instructions anywhere on how to place it on a route? Couldn't find anything in the manuals. Thanks

I dont know what version of TRS you have, but in 04, there in the buildings tab, there will be a button for splines and you can find them in there.
Catenary of different types are in the spline section of objects, add along track holding "Crtl" key down for 1st section. usually best to place cat spline point over track spline point. Need extra spline joints on curves to look OK. Once you've done a few kms you'll get the hang of it! There are some cats on DLS but the inbuilt stuff is OK.

Scared of catenary
I'm scared of catenaries.
Have you seen the (literally) thousands of catenary masts, wires, support arms, counterweights, tensioning bits etc available on the DLS? How on earth does anyone understand the names of those things, quite apart from actually using them?

If you're UK, look at this site; not aimed at Trainz but real modellers, but gives you the principle of the stuff if you read through all the pages.
Or if you happen to be in France, this website has even more catenary to download (not on DLS), plus an excellent guide here (PDF).

I recently removed 04 from my computer and now use 06. Thanks everyone for the replies.
