Sommerfeldt - Tradition that obliges. Did you ever dream of a fully functioning catenary system? Sommerfeldt products can help you make this dream come true.
On the following pages we would like to introduce you into the world of functioning catenary systems for model railways. Sommerfeldt products are designed from the original and whenever possible they downscaled exactly while maintaining complete functionality. Most important, is the attempt to transfer the prototype situation into a model railway environment, that is working reliable and absolutely trouble-free. Regardless of the existing scale, regardless whether you really want to obtain current from the catenary system or install the overhead wires just for realistic appearance. This also means that in case of maintenance tasks you are able to work within the overhead wire system without damaging existing parts of the Sommerfeldt catenary system.
This is achieved by following manufacturing principles: there are no clip connections that could open accidentally. They do not use plastic brackets to mount poles, as plastic materials due to aging with snap-in-connections may break. Sommerfeldt's line include catenary systems in HO, N, TT, O and 1 gauge from Germany, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy. Every item is finely detailed from the catenary tensioning masts to intricate tower masts. Sommerfeldt also makes a line of replacement or prototypically correct pantographs for all your electric locomotives.
