excellant works ---- love this using guitar wire ect . on kings park we use somerfeldt wires solderd in position , the pantography does touch BUT two problems arise - 1 - the loco must go in direction of pantography or it will snag 2 - puts a little pressure on the body and chassis wich in turn can burn out the moters ...... in time ....... what a super layout GREAT DELTAN has become - please keep the videos comming - andy
Thank you for the comment, due to these being suspended from fairly weak masts, it was never an intention to have the pantographs touching, though my DCC sound voyager used to pull the wires down everytime it went under the OHLE due to proximity of the speaker and it's magnetism
Great scenery my friend, very similar look to what I am trying to achieve with my layout. Very similar techniques to how I remember modelling many years ago on my early layouts. Thanks for sharing and all the best, Paul
The OHLE looks great. You must have the patience of a saint! That overall scene though is really coming together. The view looking down towards the tunnels with the car park and wall on one side and the embankment on the other looks very photogenic and a great advert for n gauge.
Very affective look. If you add a cutting of the wire bent to hold down your spring loaded arms to the right Hight you wouldn't notice it when the engine was on the move. stay safe
G'day mate. Good effort and it looks good to. Can I ask what height the contact wire is set at please? You've given me the courage to have a go myself. I got hold of .5mm brass wire/ rod [ K&S] and that is working real good. Easy to bend and being brass it solders easy as well. I'm using .75mm for the top wire just to hold things a bit more rigid.
@@greatdeltan6556 i think volmer or viesmann made wires in ho scale but yeh not simple to manufacture and probably not much of a market in n gauge yet. with the pendolino, iet, class 92s, eurostar and others maybe in the future peco or dapol could make the wires for n gauge though.
Fantastic, and what an amazing result, very effective. Are you gluing your pantographs in places as not to knock off the wires? I will be certainly adding the masts, still deciding about the wires, although I really like the idea of guitar strings. I may try nylon too, we’ll see. Thank you for showing this
Thank you! And yes, they are easily knocked off when track cleaning. I assume you'll be 3D printing your masts? As I wouldn't recommend the N brass gantries for massive quantity, they take a long time to finish. Look forward to seeing this at Picadilly though. Also, had a wander into Wellingborough model shop the other day, not a bad little place
Yes I will be 3d printing the masts, still a little while off. Yes Julian has a nice lil shop there, been a while since I went in, but glad he’s survived the lockdowns. There is Osbornes in Rushden and The Model Shop in Npton as you probably know. All great and easily accessible for both of us.

Very good bit of work there mate. Adds another dimension to your layout.
Thank you! Agreed

Glad this has helped, difficuilt but worth the time
Wow first video of constructing catenary I’ve seen great result.
Thank you
Great job! Lovely looking scene you've created.
Cheers!
Interesting approach using guitar string.
I’m curious why you didn’t just use manufactured catenary wire solutions such as Viessmann 4358.
I did look at these but was unsure if they'd be compatible with the dapol masts and n brass gantries
excellent video and great to see how you make the wires
The catenary looks amazing. Great work that is really worth the effort! Well done.
Thank you very much, I'm glad it turned out effective

Thank you, appreciate the comment :)
Looks awesome! Great detail, thanks for sharing. Dave
Cheers!
Good for you doing all that work. Looks like torture! Adds a very impressive level of realism on your layout.
Felt like it at points!
Love this layout, you’ve earned yourself a subscriber 👍
Thank you very much!
Looking good, nice layout
Thank you very much
That looks really impressive
Thank you!

Hi there just found your channel nice job with the over hear electrification it looks great on your layout subbed.
Thank you!

Nice video nice train 👍🚂👌
Greetings Gert
Great viewing, Glad I have Kettles,.All the best. Glynn
Yes, does make it easier to model when it's just diesel/steam
Looks fiddly to make but a brilliant result, well done sir!
well done. dapol should make the wire spans to attach to their masts! would save a lot of extra work with guitar strings.
Agreed! Though I can imagine they'd be difficuilt to manufacture to scale

@@timstrainvideos142 yes perhaps, it certainly brings a lot to a layout
Looks good very effective good job 😀👍
Thank you very much :)
Looking fantastic
Thank you!
Great video for this.. I'm about to start making my equivalent OO gauge nBrass gantries

@@piccadillymodelrailways good choice! And yeh he had a lot of interesting stoxk, cheers for the info!
Really impressive, really does look good
Superbly done!
That does look good.
Thank you :)
Glue the pan on the class 90 I do in oo gauge!
yoo still get the dapol kits there still on the website
Ah I was unaware
good vid
Thank you
Super slinkies all the way for me lol
For guitars or OHLE? :)
That's great inavative thinking there useing guitar string.
Thank you, it was recommended by N brass
