I've always had a strange fascination with these things, and am thinking of making maybe a pair of them for the layout some day. Any thoughts? Nutty idea? Materials?
They're 125 feet tall, which would make it 17 inches high in HO scale (wow!). The arms would span about 17 inches too. I got the specs from the Appalachian Power website. I am actually partial to the "sagging arms" one.
These are 765,000 volt "monsters", and you can hear the air crackle overhead on a humid day.
I don't even have any terrain yet, but I'm making a list of features to keep the enthusiasm going enough to get started some day...
