Regular forum readers may recall I strung some catenary wire last fall, in preparation for the O Scale national;

On that section the ceiling is too low, and the scenery configured so that adding the high tension towers atop the K Bridges just did not work.  I am now working on a 30 foot section where the towers do fit.  I custom made the towers using a jig and brass shapes

All the poles are placed, and the towers have been fitted.

Nothing is bolted down yet (which is why things look a little crooked), but you get the idea.  And of course I still need to string all the wires.  Stay tuned!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Next up are the HT towers on the catenary signal bridge, so stay tuned to this forum.

John,

Excellent as always.

When you get a chance, maybe another thread, would you be kind enough to touch on how you painted the sky?  That is  so recessive,  lacking focal points it portrays distance & melts into the background.    

Tom,

I can do that.   As soon as I get my act together I'll post something.  Its actually quite simple

I can do that too..but that will take a bit longer. Particularly because I owe Allan Miller another article first
