Telegraph 33wire

Telegraph 33wire

UK type 4-6 spar, 19, 25, and 33 wire divider and different initiator/terminator telegraph pole splines. These replace the previous UTC telegraph pole sets, and are TRS2004 compatable. A few improvements
now include better wood textures, pole steps, and additional guy cables, and are very accurate in dimensions. In reality the height varied, these ones are default 8.5 metres high (approx 28ft), but you can adjust the height by about 1 metre up or down. The wires were kept very taut with little or no sagging. The insulators were made of porcelain, none were made of glass as used in the US, Canada, et. These telegraph poles were used for signal and points relay switching, communications, and higher voltage lines, between signal boxes, relay stations and sub-relay boxes. Telegraph poles of various configuations were a common sight beside the railway trackside right up untill the late 1960s. They then quickly dissapeared, and were replaced by pvc insulated ground layed cables. After installing, go into Trainz Surveyor, Objects Panel/Splines under Britain, Telegraph Poles. The rotating 3d thumbnail does not show them up too well (as wires only). They can be placed ANYWHERE on your layout, not just by the side of the track. After placing by the track and IF they do not appear, just place a little outside the vicinity of the track they WILL then appear and just move them back again. These models and textures were created with Discreet's GMAX and Paint Shop Pro programs. All models tested on an Athlon 2400XP, with ATI Radeon with latest drivers, WinXP, and TRS2004, date January 2004.
