    Yes it does indeed, I thought the same thing. It's the JL EVE variant of the L6 is the one you mean. (Edit): Just found out why they are so similar, the L13 is designed by Babcocks who are JL EVE.

    And here's a 3D image of a L13 D with a basic plan for one too:

    Here’s the D60 as shown in picture 4, this is 4YM-53. I also have close ups of a BICC L6 D so if you want any photos please let me know, I went underneath too. best regards, Matthew

    The images don't seem to be loading on my screen. I just tried opening them in a new tab as well and unfortunately it comes up with an error 404.

    Here’s some pics of a BICC L6 D90 doing what it does best, the tower is on the 4YM line between Bramford and Norwich and is tower 4YM-51

    By the looks of it the 132kv PL16 line is going under a L3/L2 line. My guess for this is that the PL16 line (the smaller pylons) was built first but when the L2/L3 pylons came about later they had to split the line and divert it underneath using those smaller pylons. I’m not an expert I just like these things so I might be wrong in a couple of places but someone will correct me. HTH, Matthew

    Here’s some close ups and underneath the L2 D40EC at Indian Queens

    Ah ok, is it on a PDF as if it is I’d like a copy please, I’ll DM you my email. Regards, Matthew

    Ah ok. So is that tower at Burwell a D40EC then and is there a plan for it? best regards, Matthew

    Ok here’s a pic of the 25kv pantograph, the other one is pretty much the same, just with 1 lower arm instead of 2. I’m not too fussed about the scale. If it looks right for me then I’m happy. I also didn’t know that the Jouef and Hornby versions were different. Anyway you learn something everyday!

    You mean this one?
  12. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Hi all, Having just acquired a spare GNER Eurostar body shell I was wondering if there is any finer scale pantographs that that resemble the real thing a bit more. My first look was Jouef being as they originally did the models and the other TGVs but I am having trouble finding spares. Any help would be much appreciated best regards, Matthew

    So that means that the L6 at Burwell is a L6 D40EC, so is there a plan for them or is it just a mix and match of other plans..... This might require another email to national grid asking?
  14. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Where did you find those Paul? Were they on the internet? regards, Matthew
  15. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    They are both Balfour Beatty L6s and the second one is doing the same thing as the first, the only reason I said they are the same is because they have pointed tops, compared to the flat top on a standard D60
  16. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Also, what L6 would this be? I know it’s of a Balfour Beatty design and I know it has traits of a D60 but I want to know if it’s a special type of tower. There is another type of this at another substation (name I have forgotten) that has a similar design too.
  17. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    I honestly don’t know it just looked like a D60 as the pattern and shape looked the same, I saw a D60 too and will do a comparison using a couple of pics, it might well be but like I said, it’s just what it looked like. best regards, Matthew

    Presenting England’s southernmost 400kv substation: Indian Queens. I have more photos including going under the L2 D60 so let me know if you want any more
  19. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Ah ok, now remember they are the same as I went under an L3C line recently and there was a D60 but it was the standard version.... I should’ve remembered D’oh best regards, Matthew
  20. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Also I forgot to ask, are there any plans for these type of L2s? And is there an L3C D60?
  21. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Unfortunately that road is unnamed, I do remember seeing a railway though so that might be the one. best regards, Matthew
  22. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    As promised here’s the quad conductor L12, it’s more a converter but still unusual being as they are only built to contain twin conductors. best regards, Matthew
  23. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Ah ok I’ll get a couple of snips off google earth and put them on here. best regards, Matthew
  24. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    It is to the west of Newport in one of the industrial estates, near to the abandoned D2 road, it appears there’s 3 D25s, followed by a DT, then a D55 before returning to a BB L6 D60. And yes unfortunately they are L12 as the cross arms are the L12 look. The L13s if I remember are only for triple conductors. best regards, Matthew
  25. LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004
    Ah yes the L12 lines near Keadby I have seen, I have photos of them somewhere so I need to find them when I get back. You mentioned L12s can only use double conductors, there’s an L12 on the outskirts of Newport that has quad conductors as it comes off a quad conductor BB L6 line
