.........
In 1906 the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad began an ambitious project to electrify a 33 mile section of 4 track main line between Woodlawn (Bronx N.Y.) and Stamford CT. By 1914 not only was the Stamford section complete, but the entire line to New Haven CT. had been electrified. Model Memories is proud to announce the reproduction of this feat of engineering in etched brass........ Our catenary system offers everything you need to build a New Haven style overhead wire system including catenary bridges, pre-formed overhead wire, insulators, and instructions. Designed to accurately reproduce the prototype, our system is not designed to actually distribute power to the train, although the ambitious modeler can power the wire. To install 20" of catenary on your layout, you should order: 1 catenary bridge (2 are needed for the first section), 1 overhead wire hanger kit, 1 pk pre-formed wire. |

New Haven RR Anchor Bridge - Click for Photo
These bridges served several functions; as a support for the overhead wire, and to sectionalize overhead wire (between Anchor Bridges) removing power for maintenance. These Bridges were placed approximately every two miles and after researching many photos we’ve come to understand that no two were identical. Model Memories has reproduced one style of these beautiful Bridges.

OVERHEAD WIRE HANGER KIT Overhead wires need to be supported and stabilized about every 10". Our kit holds the wire at the proper height above the track and stabilizes side to side movement. Model Memories wire support hangers duplicate the New Haven down to the insulators. Packaged 2 per kit. Kit includes 2 hanger bars, support wire, 8 insulators, and instructions. Each kit is suitable for 2, 3, or 4 track applications. NEW HAVEN RR TAPERED PULL-OFF POLE - See Picture The New Haven used these poles on the triangular wire West of Stamford CT. These can be used anywhere on your layout and works with all of our wire types. This item is all brass and assembled. PULL-OFF TOWER Our New Haven tower is a straight leg style and is used to pull overhead wire to conform to curved trackage. Kit or assembled tower includes: tower, concrete base, cable brackets, wire (to simulate cables), and instructions. CATENARY POLES
"H-O" Scale - Superdetailed Brass Construction
Model Memories has reproduced a "generic" version of catenary for Milwaukee Road, Great Northern and Virginian. These models use all brass construction and come complete with insulators and instructions -- See Picture
