F...Greg, the twilight effect is a pure coincidence. Fluorescent lights are installed under the layout over our workbench. The indirect lighting gives a realistic night sky.<br /><br />The pole were built using 3mm x 3mm styrene H-beam, I think it was Plastruct. They are 30 feet high and crossbars are made of distressed styrene about 8 scale feet long each and glued on the H-Beam. I added nut bolt details. Insulators are Tichy but I reduced their lenght to fit my prototype. Unfortunately, I have no picture of them. They are quite straight forward to build. The one in Villeneuve were built in 1954 when the cement plant was erected. They carried, for a while, catenaries.<br /><br />The Bunge elevator is completed and weathered but stored. The location is now Donohue plant in Clermont. There's some talks with Jérôme about building a small switching layout centered about this particular prototype. Would be fun and I hope to do it. It would have been fun to keep it on the layout, but space was lacking.Matthieu Lachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812873374306516493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5807818366755087334.post-39640725590062396372015-06-17T17:08:25.910-04:002015-06-17T17:08:25.910-04:00Matthieu,

Do you have a how to process for your power poles that I see in the background? There are similar ones in Michigan's Thumb and would be a neat layer to add on the layout. <br /><br />I also read a post on Big Blue Trains about your Bunge elevator, have you completed any work on that portion of the layout recently?<br /><br />GMGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251662365745458984noreply@blogger.com
