I was thinking about adding the MTH Catenary set to my layout, is this a good thing or not?
The number is 40-1035 8 piece set, and 40-1036 4 piece add-on set.
Would I need to buy the Catenary hardware set too?

Too oversize and too pricey for my tastes. Looks best with Standard Gauge or #1 gauge, but my impression is that it looks a bit too “clunky” for O gauge. But if you like it and can afford it, give it a shot!
I have a couple of sets, but have never taken the time to install them. Neil Besougloff wrote a good article in the December 2002 CTT describing how to modify it for a more scale look. Also has a lot of good installation tips. I keep this copy with my catenary. Maybe this winter after the holidays I will get started.
There was a tread on this subject a couple of years ago.
Thanks John, It helped a little but still the question to be answerred is what is needed for the catenary set to work? Do you need the accessory hardware or not? PS Having a little trouble with the site! Lee F.
