[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by kevnbety</i> <br /><br />Some great info. guys, thanks! One other thing I was thinking. I would like to place guy wires on some of my poles just like the real ones, to help keep the pole up-right against the "pull" of the wires. My model poles don't "need" these guy wires, as they can support themselves just fine, but I thought it would look cool. So here's the question. Pretty much all guy wires that I have seen have been a silver/gray color. That EZ Line stuff seems pretty cool, but you can't get it in a silver color. How about using fishing line (assuming you could find it in the correct color). Fishing line wouldn't have the dust collection problem that thread would have would it? Just a thought! What do you guys think? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I bought some for using to make chainlink fencing. You may be on to something for the guy wires. I don't fish, but love to eat them, can you get fishing line in a extremely small diameter?? My problem is doing Normal Scale (N scale ;) <br /> <br />Kevin, I like that modern look you have on your layout [tup]
