This is no longer part of the Märklin catalog. Does anybody have a reference to it or is there a manufacturer that does a suitable set?

Have you try Sommerfeldt Cat.no 162 Overhead spider over the turntable? See view online catalogue from lokshop. http://catalog.lokshop.de/SOM/2006/page_2.htmlBut price quite about 130 Euros. Don't know how can fit with other marklin overhead. |

Fantastic, Steven, a great thank you, I didn't know about this one! I was already considering using Sommerfeldt for the whole layout, anyway, this may tip me over the edge to go for it.

Watching that movie, I was wondering if a loco without moving pantographs wouldn't get stuck between the wires if the TT moved with the panto still up.
Does anyone have any experience with TT catenary? |
Kind regards,

If you do not have digitally controlled pantographs on your E-Loks you would have to move them up and down manually in order to effectively use this "spider" catenary arrangement.
I am not sure why you would want to do this if you can use a transfer table (schiebebuhne)!!
I would leave turntable for steam locomotives, maybe even diesels and use a transfer table for your electrics. If you have to spend 130 Euros ($191.00) for this set-up, if you save a little longer you can just as easily purchase a transfer table for around $289.00. Brawa used to make one, Model No. 1180 that was compatible with Maerklin and you can find them occassionally on E-bay. In fact there is one seller right now offering one for $124.00!! You can easily configure catenary for use with these tables.
