1:76 scale L34 pylon.

Thank you. The only problem is they’re starting to take over the place !))

Just completed- 1:76 scale L34 275kV .

Not too sure if these have been posted before - BICC D90 National Grid plans.

No plans regarding Burrell , the tower designs appear to have Balfour Beatty/Blaw Knox and BICC designs.

These were from the National Grid , I have most of the Balfour Beatty and BICC L6 tower designs.

Possibly this ?

There are several of these which clip to any tower and can be easily removed . Part of the changing landscape in 21st century Britain .

“The Usual Suspects”.

It would be great to produce more variations, storage/transporting is another consideration as deviation/ terminal towers require extensive packaging.

One possibility it was an added precaution that turned out to be redundant in view of the lower voltage .

The reason for the dual grounding wire PL16 was down to tower variations within my collection. The standard PL16 & PL1 are a slightly similar design.

Latest project just completed - 1:76 scale PL16 with dual ground wires.

I’ll be ordering another set of Hornby pylons for spares in the next few days . Let me know if you need any components. Here are a few photos that might help, regarding the holders,it might be worth keeping the insulators short as I had to extend the tower upper level to avoid clearance issues. All the best, Paul.

Looking good . It’s an interesting project to personalise/detail these models. . Humbrol enamel paint “87 steel grey” airbrushed can look quite effective.
-
There are a couple of projects planned , hope to start them soon.
