Telegraph poles

[Nowhere man]

Does anyone know how far apart telegraph poles are along the track? I was just doing some planing and wondered how many i would need.

On BR they were approx 60-65 yds apart, but the actual distance can vary on location.
See my site for more info. which may help?... https://www.brian-lambert.co.uk/Hints-& ... graphpoles

I found that a scale 65 yards can look wrong on a layout. You will be best to space them so they look right.

On my web page linked, I recommend for OO around 400-450mm apart or less.

What about a derelict building or a stinky pond full of debris.
