this is the common "K" brace catenary that i have plans for. the supports between the poles look like a K placed on its side.
this seems easy enough, and looks great to. at the same time however, there I also see alot of catenary supported only by wires from pole to pole, like here. its a little pale, but you can see it. it looks as though i could just bend and solder the wires. would any one have measurements and angles for me? i'm scratch building my catenary, and while looking good is usualy good enough, i also want to try and stick to the protoype as much as i can with the materials i have.
Also, there are so called "diamond" braces on the lower lateral wire. this also seems liek something i could easily fabricate from bent wire, and just solder on.
As tedious as it is, i won't mind doing that, but i wonder if its actualy worth it? would it be to delicate to try and make it exact? there doesn't seem to be to many construction issues that would get in the way other than lack of supplies (i would have to order alot fromt he internet) and the fact that there really isn't anything that looks like catenary insulators, or inuslatores for transmission lines. i'm sure i could find something though.
