RMweb Gold wenlock Posted April 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm looking for some telegraph poles for my layout. I know Peco make some https://peco-uk.com/products/telegraph-poles-pack-of-4 Are they good representations, or is there anything better on the market? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

RMweb Gold wenlock Posted April 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi Graham, yes I could scratch build some, but I’m sure I read somewhere about some nice 7mm castings for insulators and the climbing brackets. I just wish I could remember where!:-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I think the Peco ones are quite good.... here's some in use on Denton Brook with the addition of zinc top plate (EZ Line for wires) Denton Brook by giles favell, on Flickr 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell me if the arms and steps are separate pieces in the kit or are they moulded directly onto the posts? I'm hoping the posts allow the brackets to be placed wherever you like so I can make something bespoke for my layout:-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are designed for two arms, whereas I only used one..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
