Discussion on the NZ120 list in the last couple of days has been on modeling catanery. Now, since I'm going to have to bite the bullet and actually do this at some point, I've done a bit of thinking about this. My premise is that most of the wires blend into the background due to the mute colours. In the following photo you can see what I mean.
From a practical point-of-view, the wires will gather dust, and get in the way of any derailment fixing.
My plan is to model the carrier wires (the ones running across the tracks) and leave the main wires out. It's easier to trick the viewers eye into perceiving whats not there rather than modeling everything in the scene
