[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by John Busby Hi Capt C Err OOPS! sorry Major C congratulations on promotion[:D] Don't expect the telegraph pole to last long its missing an important part. The metal cap on top of the pole get a bit of cool drink can cut it a little larger than the top of the pole super glue it to the pole and pu***he edges down over the top of the pole beware of sharp edges a decent cut could slow down the modeling a bit. The cap is put on to stop water entering through the end grain of the wood also did you dip the base of the pole in preservative before sticking it in the ground? What have you used for the insulators?? they look quite good. As does the now silk ear locomotive Err brace arms?? they could also be made from can metal unless you want to get flash and buy some strip metal in modeling sizes regards John [/quote] Thanks John, I am in a process of experimentation with this and your suggestions will come in very handy. I had, on another previous experiement, used a qunatity of "super glue" to "treat" the tip whereas to mitigate the "grain" issue you mention. The Metal cap I will explore. The Insulators are made of thumbtacks which I discovered quite by acciedent. I think, if a bloke wanted to be very creative, he could even drill these things and actually run wire through them. I am creative enought to think of that, albiet I have neither the skill, time or equipment...but later.
