Pete Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Think he's meaning them massive metal things... Bloody ugly things they are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Pete's right, I meant a pylon to be the big metal ones, i'd call the wooden ones a pole not a pylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philsterrainstudio Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi arron, Good luck to you on that one. 1) You need to find a linesman training centre or google they should have diagrams of a pylon, work out the height in feet x 9mm will give you the height in millimeters. ( I hope you have the space ). 2)Then work out the cost in materials? I want pylons (wooden pole style) on my layout like the ones on barry's link, mind their europeon style. Use the same principle of construction. Have a look around your area to see how the eleic is sent from house to house. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

and2go Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) going by the average construction, id maybe say paper clips, solder and metal strips of some sort..... OR look for the future competion ones which might be slightly easier to make and be unique http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15293918 Edited by And2go for Grammar reasons Edited May 22, 2012 by and2go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
