First electrified track

The Sommerfeld catenary is rock solid high quality stuff. The metal poles are secured onto the baseboard with a nut that threads onto the pole from below. The over head wires need to be carefully soldered in place and painted a dark color to make them look thinner. One can power trains through them too although I have no intention of doing so.

The S-Bahn is the first to try out my first stretch of electrified track.
