Great Source for telephone poles
Posted by Frank53 on Tuesday, March 20, 2007 3:40 AM

Just got a few telephone poles in from Dave at DM&M Railroad.

These are n-i-c-e

I mapped out where I want to use these in the industrial area and once I get them weathered a bit more, I'll figure out whether or not I want to actually run wires. Like I need more to do.

I can see myself getting way too many of these for the rest of the top level ane eventually the entire layout.

No telephone pole in this shot, but this old 2026 needed to get our for some fresh air:

Are those made by the same guy as Buckeye's telephone poles?  Those are very nice indeed.

Frank,  Dave does a great job, he will make up any configuration you want.  He also has flexible wire (cord) that does not tear if you accidently snag it.  Has a display every year at York.

Yup, that picture on their site is Buckeye's layout.  See the hell's gate bridge in the background!
