Hey guys,
I pulled this from the Atlas Rescue Forum. Check it out:
Shapeways PRR catenary HO scale
All types and sizes of PRR catenary is available from K braced 2 and 4 track structures to Lattice and Beam signal bridges These are not kits. They are all one piece. All you have to do is paint them. They are also designed to support a metal catenary system. These structures are very detailed with rivets, grab irons, brackets, rain caps, gusset stiffeners, insulators and signal lines. They are currently available in HO and N scale. I have designed these structures primarily for my own layout, but they are available for sale to whomever who wants them.
4 track k braced structure
lattice signal bridge 4 tracks
beam signal bridge 4 tracks
PRR Catenary for curved track sections

...
Most of the catenary structures that are on Shapeways are 2nd or 3rd revisions and some have been printed .
Below are some pictures of the printed versions
small 4 track structure
Large 4 structure
These came out good,But these did not have the riveted gusset plates or guy wire anchors that I added later. They have insulators, grab irons, rain caps and signal brackets. They are Designed so that when you attached them to a strong substrate an add a metal wire steady span they can hold up a Metal catenary system.
On another note I have been doing PRR structures in 3d check out Wilmington Station on Charlie Grants Layout
3d printed in One piece painted by Charlie to match the prototype

I am very intrigued by these 3D printed towers! Right now, they are only a few dollars cheaper than Model Memories stuff. But I'm hoping in a short while the price and quality of 3D printing will improve. The detail may be a little rough, but I think overall they look very nice!
