A very good detail item. It's the details that make any scene convincing.

Dave,
Are you going to be doing any of the shows around Columbus this fall?

I am pretty sure I will be doing the Vet's Memorial stadium show coming up. My poles will be at Wooster and up in Parma this month also. Thanks for all the comments folks!!! I am also working on a "G" scale pole as well, and should have some pictures up pretty soon on my website.

Wow, Tom - the poles in the last picture would be perfect for holding trolley wire.

nitroboy, when you make them for G, I might have some buyers from my train club, as well as myself. I will get my email running soon, so shoot me one when you see the icon on the post info.
