    HO Scale 500kv Power line Path

    Thanks and yes. I am working on a new interstate highway that they will parallel as well as new traffic lights, shopping centers and gas stations. The railroad tracks will mostly be mainlines and will run by the nuclear power plant from which these high voltage wires come from.

    Sure. The first thing you need are ordinary wooden dowels. The ones that I bought were 4 to 5/16ths of an inch thick. Next you need some flexible wire for the purpose of tying and securing the screws(insulators) to the tower. Next you need black 3 inch screws. I got the fine thread dry wall 8 x...

    HO Scale 500kv Power line Path

    I've always wanted high voltage transmission lines on my layouts so I decided to scratch build some because there were no models of the design that I wanted. The wires or conductors will be in groups of 3 for each phase. Also in the works are substations, sub transmission and feeder lines.

    Thanks. I am considering building a couple of CSX locos with intermodel cars to go with the signals. Only thing limiting me is space.

    Francis here. I wanted to stop by and say hi and that I love scratch building railroad signals whether it be crossing signals or BLMA block signals. I do have an HO scale set but it is not in layout form. I tend to concentrate more on larger models in the 1/10 size alittle bigger than g scale...
