PRR Catenary Set

Description
PRR Catenary

This will replace the default catenary poles with ones based on standard designs of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Some dimensions were altered (for instance track centers) to better fit the Transport Fever world. In addition, the mod includes several track assets for detailing and 2 new track types for the prototypical 300 ft spacing on tangent track and a 'no-poles' version so you may place you own when required.

This is a great mod. Great job!

Is there any way to make this mod compatible with the Extended Station Configuration Options mod? It's actually not game breaking and you can still configure stations with US standard and highspeed track (with or w/o catenary) and the PRR catenary shows up on station track fine. But beyond those four track types if you try placing other types like yard track or 'no-poles' version track assets, the game throws an error. Other than being laggy when you try I haven't received any CTD issues.

I found the error. It would seem that this mod and the "stations forever" mod don't mix. Will avoid using that one in the future.

I've been getting an internal error when using this mod, when configuring a station and placing track next to a platform, the error occurs.

I wouldn't mind the height with if had actual wires. My issue is mostly that it's on every track basically and I don't want every station to have those huge poles sticking through the glass roof. So making these their own track type would be nice and if you can give it it's own little subcategory so it's easy to find would also be nice

I have considered a few ways to improve this set and will release updates as they come. n.chiri's idea would be useful.

to address wabbithunta's ideas:

I will consider making them on their own track type. this would also remove them from stations, however I would argue what you see is in fact realistic.

The poles and size of these is 100% real. these were made from actual PRR plans and the only dimensions that were altered with respect to being useful in the game were the pole base distances to center of track, since TPF uses a certain center measurement.

PRR's electrical system was, and in most cases still is in integral part of the electric power grid. The catenary structure carried not only the wires over the track but also signal power and 132kv power supply lines. This is why the poles are so tall. I even considered adding those wires, but decided it would be more work than it is worth.

I like the idea of these, but is there any chance of something being done to resolve the issues below?

Don't over ride game settings, make these an option to be added within the game? I've found these are made the default set when using them in a game. I prefer to have a choice.
Reduce their size, they seem to be huge [and oversized?]
Resolve the issues with stations, they stick through the platform roofs etc.

.. and thanks for the work you have done with this mod, to date
