Well, there is a problem with your pictures,
The problem is your catenary looks nothing like the real thing.
The reason why is because the original creator, painted the wires black.
Well, firstly, there is nothing in nature that is black, same goes for white. Everything is something inbetween.
And catenary wires are made of copper. Meaning new ones are shiny brownish metallic and older ones are greyish green.
Yeah. I'm a know it all, and thats the way I like it
Check out the pictures above your post and you'll see my point

Daniel53e - for me this is not problem. Why? Because in Poland 80% of centary is black, gray, seldom green. Ok, author of this centary did 2 version - black and green. In my map is black, because in my country pantographs is lubricate or graphite (lead). Where in this situation is green centary - I don't know, I heve not seen. In my opinion centary is probably black, grey, never green 
Conclusion - If you do not like it, when you use my map, in options exchange black centary for green centary

Well, there is much more a problem with your attitude...
Trainz is acting through impressions. I don't give a penny for the color of the catenary wire. Much more important is the overall impression and Kacperkgl mirrors the overall railway athmosphere damn good, so that I wish if i could do that on such a high level.

That's not true. A lot of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor's catenary wires are green. I couldn't find a decent picture, but you can tell in this one that it isn't black:

Hi Peter,
You misunderstood the joke of Vendel :hehe:
I would appreciate if you say the color of this catenary...
Catenary wires are not the main components of a track and they are so much in contrast with their neighborhood, that it is not easy to say which color they are. New wires are made of copper, they stay for a month gold, but then they turn to green if you see them in a roll on the ground. As soon as they are mounted it is very difficult to say a color.
But does the color of the wire matter at all??? Trainz is a model train simulator and not a model catenary simulator.
