Pantagraph

I am trying to lay a Catenary over track and it seems that when I try and get a trolley to raise its pantagraph, nothing happens. The button is greyed out as well. Are only some centenaries workable? Does it have to be connected to something? Also, I saw a tutorial on youtube and the person laid the catenary over track at the same spline points as the track. When I try and do this i get the messege that the to items are no compatible and does not allow me to lay it that close to track..
Thanks

No catenary system is "workable" - they are all just scenic additions. Possibly the model of your trolley does not have a working pantograph...

Try holding shift when you try to lay the catenary splinepoints. This will stop them trying to snap together - and giving you the not compatible message.
 
Thanks for responding to my problem. Not working pantograph?.. thats what I first thought but I am using the yellow trolley that was included in TANE plus it works fine when I drive it in the preloaded layout..
 
ok, I just went to survayor and zoomed in on the trolleys. The yellow trolley has a pantorgaph on the front but is missing one in the rear. The white and red trolley has no pantograph. Is that normal?
