That's a shame, Hopefully you didn't lose too many photos! I am always worried that i've accidently deleted one of my photos Yes it is indeed. However I seem to recall that my uncle put them on another hard drive somewhere so I need to ask him so all may not be lost! best regards, Matthew (edit) I love it how our conversations have done 2 pages in under 2 hours already lol Edited September 6, 2019 by LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, I look forward to see the shots off the M16...... (M16 was the original allocation for the M25, part of London’s ringway 3 however the current M25 is a mixture of both 3 and 4, hence the pointless M26) 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 Forgot to mention the other reason why you don’t see any L13s is that none exist. Lines have been proposed but none built. I have a 3D image of how one would look though: 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pylon King Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) On 06/09/2019 at 20:47, L2's are great! said: 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 Thank you. The only problem is they’re starting to take over the place !)) Edited November 10, 2019 by Pylon King 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 I'd love to be able to create my local L2 Line, but as it has over 40 towers so I think i'd be here for quite a while 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Felix I know it’s hard, but skill does develop and that’s how most of my pylon pics have come from. The M16 is complex as the M25 is only a botch job of 2 completely different motorways with some bits built to join it up. As you can tell roads are another one of my specialties but look up M16 on pathetic motorways and that’ll tell you the history. best regards, Matthew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly short line made up of only 30 odd towers (if I counted correctly) and whenever I followed the line from above I noticed that there was like a little terminal area and that was it!!

Yeah that does sound odd, seems to be the case of “build whatever we’ve got left”. As for that micro substation, I honestly have no idea. It does exist at other places (I think there’s an L8 one at Dartford). best regards, Matthew 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
