He is really talented and if you have a spare moment browse back through the forum to see his other masterpieces. I am lucky to own one of the models (the L6 SF90) best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Just to show the differences between trains and pylons here’s an SF90 tower (pylon kings model kindly given to me), and a Bachy class 90. I have a cunning plan to put it on my new layout depending on space. best regards, Matthew 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2's are great! Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Well that's exactly how I stumbled across this forum, just casually searching for L3 pylons on google and then saw his model L3 D along with the L6, and my jaw fell thru the floor. Then I read thru all the pages and I'm amazed at the skill. I mean I'm i've been a pylon fan all my life and never come across any models as technically accurate and detailed as his. Congrats Pylon King 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll look fantastic on your model rail layout. Kind regards, Felix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Felix They are not very common near me, the nearest one being over 2 hours away, and thank you for saying that, I will definitely try and get it on now. I still need to build the insulators for it as he needed them for other projects which is understandable, but they are easy to build. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll probably only be single conductors as that’s what they carry normally but if I decide to scratchbuild some myself (I have the plans and am developing the skills) I will fit quad conductors to the L6 models I decide to construct, but this is on he back burner for the mo as I have other things on the go. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Felix I am unsure what make that armless tower is, probably of L6 but I honestly don’t know. Now thinking of it though there’s 2 at Eaton Socon along with an L12 DT and an L6M D10, with them being newer I’m thinking that in their place was 2 L6 D40ECs, if that’s the case then Burwell must be the sole survivor. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes the ones at Tilbury. I do agree some of them do look French and had some photos of the “French L2 equivalent”.
