Nice pantographs are available here: http://www.halling.at/railwaymodel/pdf/katalog.0.pdf in HO scale, but you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between HO & OO.

Working trolley poles, ready assembled, you can buy from http://www.miniaturesbyeric.com/itmidx1.htm and http://www.mtsimports.com/misc.htm#TROLLEY .

I have MTS poles, and Eric's HTP2 poles, admittedly not yet running under wire, but they certainly look promising. Spring tension on Eric's is higher than recommended, but I stretched the springs on mine so they should be OK now.

Several of my trams use Precision Scale (ex Kemtron) kit-built poles, but the springs are too long & need to be cut in half or replaced, and sometimes the castings are poor. With my hands getting shaky I tend to buy 'ready rolled' these days.

I am now able to continue my OO models but need help.

I intend having my stock to work off overhead but I'm stuck.

Can anyone point me in the direction of trolley poles and Fischer bows
ready made and a "how to" make my own working models
thanks in advance

Interesting to see so much is available to model trams in 7mm scale. I am a member of the Tram Section of the Museum of Transport and Technology at Auckland where I help restore and drive the real thing, including ex Sydney Baldwin steam tram 100, which I am helping overhaul at present.

I model American narrow gauge railway in On30, and am building a Sacramento Northern interurban kit as a diversion at present. This has got me thinking that scratch building an Auckland tram or two in 7mm could be rather interesting, so I could well be back.

Thanks for providing such a rapid turn-around on orders.

I thought I had better add this correction for the benefit of readers. Of course the trolley poles are listed along with everything else as usual. Overlooking the scroll bar is a laughable excuse I know, but one I have to admit to in my lapse of concentration.

Thank you Terry for bringing this to my attention, and may I say what a great website! I shall watch the for sale and news pages etc. regularly that's for sure!
