I want to build a power transformer

[railBuilderDhd]

I'm going to fill a little area left on my module with a power transformer as it will work ask since the module is an urban commercial district. I wanted to know if anyone has any tips or ides to scratch build a transformer or is there a kit I should just get for this.

Thanks for any thoughts.

They're not too hard to scratch build since there's a wide variety.
As for kits, here's a few:

Do you want to build a single transformer, like the one in the second and third links, or a substation, like the one in the first link? A transformer by itself doesnt to anything, so it needs some additional equipment, even for a single transformer substation. I suspect the small substation at http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3025 is really what you want.

Jim,
You are right on with what I want to do but I'm not sure if that entire kit will fit in the space. I'll have to use just what fits.
