Your poles and fused cutouts, etc., are all great looking.  I really enjoy this thread and your work and look forward to every new post.

 

I'm upset with myself that I can't find better photos of the two electrical poles I scratch built.  I thought I saved them but half an hour just now could not find them.  I removed them during some building relocation two years ago  . . .   I built and wired those two by the book (the Lineman and Cableman's Handbook, from the 1970s, my training book back then).  In this one fuzzy picture you can just make out the FCUs out of styrene - tiny little dots on the crossarm, and I created and wired to an entire three-transformer Y-bank and the service wires to my train station.  I actually modeled the fuse barrels and the frame as you did, and wired it all correctly including even the grounded wire down the pole, etc. 

 

I think a lot of us like to go "overboard" with details that matter to us.  It's yet one more aspect of the hobby I really like.
