Title: Catenary system
Post by: Huddinge on August 08, 2022, 10:26:47 AM
Hello, I wonder if would be possible to add the Märklin catenary system to the library so that it would be possible to use anyrail also for planning the catenary system, That means symbols for masts and different lengths of overheadwires needs to be added to the library.
Best regards Olov

Our personal experiences with planning catenary are very bad.

In practice, you will need to place the masts and hang the wires while testing all the time with different engines and pantographs to ensure they don't get entangled.

So what we did was just trial and error until it worked.

Unfortunately, the next day, the house cat destroyed all the work :(
