Finifin06 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Is this a PL1? There are quite a lot of these around my area but I’m not sure what type they are.

Mxx design where a different tower base is used instead. In the tower drawings somewhere. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Paul Not really , I’ve been looking to add extra detailing during lockdown and noticed these colour codes . Hopefully when displayed others might enquire about this particular feature which most of the collection now adorn.

I have seen yellow, blue and red on some towers and in substations and I presumed these denoted the circuit phases? Cheers Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I have done some photoshopping on a pylon and created a possible idea for a repurposed PL16 DDT. The idea comes from the fact that the line is being rerouted and extended to a new location (eg a new Gas Power Plant) and is fed from an existing substation to a new line of L4Ms. The DDT would be connected to the L4Ms and therefore no longer needs its extended top crossarms for the substation so they are shortened. I had a play around with some plans from the tower bible and a real image to create what I think could happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
