That's uncanny Steve - I've just opened the World of Railways {BRM] e-mail and guess what? They have an article on modelling telegraph poles. I reckon you could have written it. R-

I didn’t Roger! But I will have to compare notes.

I’ve seen pics of H poles Brian, thankfully no need for them (actually there’s no bl**dy room!) :D

Anyone fancy trying to disguise their DCC bus as power cables on H poles? Disguising Scothlok droppers may be a challenge. :D

Read the BRM article. In summary, take a selection of expensive kits, modify them but don’t even consider board joints. :roll:

Brass tube of sufficient diameter and feed the droppers down inside. Someone on here has done it. Now, who was that? R-

Things we learned today:

If you need to cross four board joints, you need to build four of the ghost poles - not the three that I actually built.

Senior moment. :D
