@ScottV posted:Oh, and the postman delivered my pre-order of woodland scenics telephone poles. Easy to setup if you follow the instructions to the letter. Otherwise, I could see this becoming a real nightmare with the pre-strung "wires". Pictures show my first try at installing them. The height is roughly double the height of the engine. I think that's about right. I want to extend the wires from that last pole to the tunnel. Would a tube made to look like conduit tacked to the upper right side of the inside of the tunnel portal be appropriate? I'd run 8 wire extensions from that last pole to the conduit. Good idea or no?
The poles look good Scott. I used some small drink straws painted silver as conduit for wiring on some light poles. Scale looks right IMHO. If you want to keep it realistic then look for a set of insulators to mount to the tunnel face and run the wires through them before going into the pipe.
