I have the O gauge Bowser and other toy ( Pittman )trolleys and have collected three of the somewhat hard to find original overhead wire kits that consist of pole \ brackets, the wire connector clips and the wire. Has anyone used these? Any experiences, tips or modifications to share...? The MTH system was too pricey..too mainline..and scratch-building did not appeal to me, and I have no scale like allusions...so...here they are pictured below.

I made my own poles and then used Marklin wire for a Christmas layout many years ago.
Maybe the guy on Maui who is modeling an electric line can chime in. You may have cornered the market on an uncommon item (those Bowser poles and wire) but in the world of GG-1's, somebody must have done this.
Not sure if you guys noticed, the original post is nearly two years old and the poster "Electroliner" passed away last year.
Ace,
I was thinking the very same thing, and missing him and his input to the OGR, very badly.

I had communicated with him off line several times. A nice guy, one that will be missed....
Likely passed from a broken heart over dashed dreams and lost tinplate in a new homes fire. The personality was light, but the man was deep. A crushing blow I'm sure.
Talk about bad luck; ours and and his both. RIP
