So may be it is the non diagrammed L3 version? Cheers Paul Odd, how it has never been categorised or diagramed! Kind regards, Felix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some plans for the L6M D30 and D2 if anyone interested please let me know. best regards, Matthew Ohh, I never knew that! I would be very much interested in these plans!! Would it be okay if you could email them to me? Kind regards, Felix Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the L2 line meets the L6s where the change from twin to quad conductors happens (the rather over engineered L6 in the background). Ahh I see, I thought it would be something like that. Probably inconjunction with the construction of the M69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be okay if you could email me or DM me your BK plans? And any BICC/BB plans that you haven't sent me? If you could, I would be very grateful.

Very interesting. Perhaps the low height towers were shared by both designs hence why they say both names? best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Ferrybridge C was built the line would’ve been Balfour Beatty L6s right up to where it meets with the other 2 lines. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Felix With the D2 tower there’s pretty much nothing. With the D10/30 I believe the tops are slightly different (the L6M being more pointy) and the D60 has a different shape and smaller peak at the top. I’ll find some pics and do some comparisons. As for DTs and DJTs they would’ve used L12- an example of this is at Bramford. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 As promised here is a comparison, the towers on the left are L6M and the towers on the right are BICC L6: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Felix Might be as second hand but not as new I’d think. I have been through my L6M plans too and have found super detailed drawings of the D tower, I have the same for a Balfour Beatty one too. best regards, Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
