Trolly Poles Search
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 3:20 PM
Can anyone direct me to information for purchasing trolly poles in G gauge? I'm doing light rail and have scratch built an interurban car that needs a couple of single "poles" for completion. Thanks in advance, Ted

You may want to try Hartland Locomotive Works. Their poles are considerably cheaper than the ones sold by Light Rail Products. Hartland's poles are 1/24 scale. I don't know what the scale is for Light Rail Products.

Thank you Bob, "lightrailproducts" is also 1:24 and I built the Interurban in 1:30. There isn't enough difference to cause any issues on my part. Like most of us, if I can save a few bucks, "its found money" for another project. Thanks again Bob.
