L2's are great! Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I was wondering if anyone here had any plans for the L2 D40EC as it is one of the last L2 towers missing for my set 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found what looks like a L3c hybrid line, what do you think of these deviation towers in particular?? These seem to be a hybrid design. The D2 towers do look similar to the L3c D2. But these D10 to D60 towers are something else and though I haven't seen this Scottish line myself I have seen these deviation towers elsewhere and to me D10, D30 and D60 versions exist but no sign of any D90s but there is a DT/DT90 Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange thing is from what I saw when tracing the Scottish supergrid there didn't seem to be any L2 DJT tee towers. Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line also has a lot of mini substations along the way too. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I found this rather sorry looking L2 D40EC outside Oswestry. Completely isolated with no other L2s in sight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was part of a now mothballed PL16 line that’s been singled and replaced with poles. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
