Simply Incredible job keeping everything organized.
Thank you for likes and comments, well appreciated. Now it`s time to nail the tracks to the sleepers using track gauges. After the whole track is finished, it is painted with rust color. To see how it might look later, I put a locomotive with wagon on it.

Thank you for the likes. Befor ballasting the tracks and building the terrain, the pylons for the catenary still have to be manufactured and set. Since the catenary should look as realistic as possible, I decided a selfconstruction solution of the company Wenz from Germany.
First, the location of the poles and the overhead wire run must be determined in order to be able to determine the exact length of booms.
Gauge and thread are used to define the zigzag of overhead wire and thus the mast cantilevers.
I will choose the following 2 lengths.

Thanks for all the likes. I have finished the first catenary pole. This was a laborious and fizzy affair, but it should be as true to the original as possible, so the effort is justified.

That catenary looks great. Very interesting construction. Looks much better than the commercial G scale catenary on my layout.
Thanks for likes and comment. The 2 catenary poles has been completed. Here you can see the differences of the booms well. Next the whole thing will be painted and installed on the board.

That catenary will look superb. Will you have an engine displayed beneath it?
Exactly, that is ultimately the goal.
Your build, Adi, is details oriented. Those poles look realistic.

you are doing wonderful work on the Railroads Project , my friend
Very good work Adi! Have you joined the OGR Forum yet? If so, this would be a great topic on that forum as there are many modelers there that build centenary's that are live.
Many thanks for likes and comments. The catenary poles are ready mounted, painted and fixed on the designated position. Now it is necessary to complete the planned terrain structure with styrofoam plates and adjust them after the glue dries. The the track is ballasted.

Thanks for your likes. At the moment I'm busy ballasting the track and building the terrain. I've done about half of it so far.
First the edges are masked.
Then finely crushed sand, earth mixture is glued.
Now the track is also ballasted with scale-approptiate ballast.

This is looking great!
Nice job ballasting.
This is a very ballasting look! Great work, Adi!
Many thanks for likes and comments. I'm done with the ballasting now, the next step is the greening.

Thanks for all likes. Using an electrostatic grassing device, I began the process of grassing.
