Yes there is a metal version ,although the wooden variety seems to be more common. It seems strange why ready made or kit British utility “polon” models aren’t commercially available. Regarding your photo I haven’t any additional information on their design, appears to be 33kV. All the best, Paul.

The Trident design first appeared back in the early eighties. All the best, Paul.

Hope these photos help. On the Trident model there’s around an extra 10mm below the photo to allow for a base support . All the best, Paul.

The model was based on one found just outside Winchester with the line running near to Romsey. The height of this particular design can vary quite considerably. This model along with the PL1 D30 were built as “feeders” for my substation.
