H-Beam Catenary, but where are the specs?

[One of One-Sixty]

Okay I have search here, Jerry B's site, and PRR @ Railfan, but I can not find any specs for Pennsy's H-Beam Catenary supports.  Does anybody have any diagrams official or not, or have the measurements?  Anything is appreciated any info is better than no info.

I am looking for 2 & 4 as well as single track catenary poles.

Any books I should checkout if there is nothing online?

One, i probably have a fair bit of what you're looking for, but a lot of my stuff is still in complete disarray, having moved just two months ago.

Diagrams, i can put my hands on a set of O-scale two-track elevations fairly easily, but those might not help?

I have a PDF of scale HO drawings as well as parts for those drawings that may be helpful, I know I'm going to be using them to do my little bit of catenary poles,

PRR used several designs BTW (just to complicate matters)

Hey Drew,

Might sound desperate, but I will take anything. After all I can scale down the O to N.  Might have to pull out the T-81, but its worth it. ;D

Hi Phil,

Thanks, I appreciate the help.  PM me and I will give you my email address.

Yeah I know, that is why I want to go with the H-Beam design since they was the ones that became the standard and was used along the NEC, as well as many places east of Harrisburg.

Will, be aware that they're actually hard copy sheets. I can pick them up when i'm over at Cherry Valley this weekend, and run photocopies sometime next week. However, if we can work out the reduction percentage, i can probably just photocopy them direct to N-scale size, and save you the work.

Phil, you mind if i snag a copy of this PDF myself, as well?  (at hiroechan@gmail.com )


Thanks!

Okay, not precisely what you're looking for, but a good read neverless:
Pennsylvania Railroad Electrification Strategy

Here's another source of diagrams and stuff:PRR NORTHEAST CORRIDOR  CATENARY SUPPORT TYPES

Also, i've got some Diagram PDF's available. Is there a place i can host them on the web, or would people just want them emailed?

Hey Drew, I set-up some space one my server where you can upload them if you want, also I am not sure but I think you can put them on Google Docs if you have an account.

Here's the one I emailed to a couple of the guys further up in the thread: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0By7_xS9AtmtoZGNmZjQ1NWEtNTQzNy00MDQ2LTk1ZTAtNmE5MmZkZGE4MDVk&hl=en. Never thought to use Google Docs.

Phil,
clicking that link gets me a "Sorry, the page (or document) you have requested is not available.

Apparently you have to sign in using your google account, if you have one, and doing some research, I can't publish PDFs. I'll see what else I can do,

Actually Drew that helps a lot, it give more structure info as well as added dimensions as well.

If I have time this week I may make a mock-up this week using styrene to see how sturdy it will be of both the K-Brace and regular H-Beam supports.

I just wish that adobe reader offered the "tile" option, for printing oversize sheets. As it is, i can't get it to print full-size, and still get the whole thing.
