  1. Just been adjusting a couple more storage/transportation cases for future exhibitions.
  2. This was printed way back in the 1960’s when the line was first constructed, sadly CEGB literature doesn’t appear to stay in print for long as the company was constantly developing.
  3. BICC were probably the first as this CEGB booklet indicates.
  4. Agreed about the designs , JL Eve appears to be acknowledged on the drawings.
  5. I’ve been building power grid structures using Plastruct/Evergreen for over fifteen years and haven’t noticed any changes .
  6. Added a few embellishments to this PL1 D30 yesterday, now completed.
  7. The Eaton Socon substation has one very similar . The first prototype was challenging to build as I only had one simple diagram to work from resulting in some guesswork.Using the original National Grid blueprints enabled extra accuracy and detailing . Both models took considerable time to construct but I learned a great deal from the earlier version . The new tower has also a detachable ground wire tower.
  8. Just completed this SF60 1:76 scale model from the National Grid blueprints.
  9. Do you know which substation this is? Here’s another view.
  10. Interlude time . From plans to modelling , another photo from a couple of years ago .
  11. It appears to be a combination .This is printed on the same page.
