Model Railway Forum

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!)

More common for power wires Steve.

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

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

I can feel a part 2 coming on. R-

Me too, a catenary Dcc bus, it could keep him busy for a couple of hrs

Especially camouflaging the droppers.

Oooh, you lot do like to tease!

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.
