I finally took on a project I've been dragging my feet on for a while, building some high-voltage transmission towers. The one's I'm building are the Wooden H Frame variety.
I've built five of them so far and my problem is insulators. I scaveneged some from a Model Power substation kit. However, I'm almost out. Any ideas on what I can use for insulators from here on out?

Walthers offered some power poles in HO which had insulators that might be useable for high voltage lines in N scale. They may have offered an N scale version, too....
Your picture shows the makings of a good-looking scene. I hope you'll share some views when you get it done.

They make small little tiny nuts and washers for #00-90 machine bolts. O.D. of nuts is 1/16". I just got a bunch for another project.
Brass or stainless steel, but could be painted. You might try these.

Nice towers. Tichy has some insulators that measure .107 dia. x approx. .250 in length.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. And thank you also for the kind words about the towers themselves.
