Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Intermediate Height Wood Utility Poles 12-Pack - 933-4173

Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Intermediate Height Wood Utility Poles 12-Pack - 933-4173 adds an important part of the electrical distribution network to a modern HO scale model railroad. Based on prototype poles that carry reduced-voltage lines between substations and service transformers, these intermediate-height utility poles help connect larger power transmission facilities with the local electrical grid serving homes, businesses, and industries. The kit includes parts to build 12 poles, each measuring 6-1/4" (17.5cm) tall and representing a height of 45 scale feet above the layout surface. Browse the complete Walthers Cornerstone model railroad buildings and structures collection for additional HO scale structures and details.

Intermediate-height poles represent a specific stage in the modern power distribution system. Electricity traveling from larger transmission lines is stepped down through substations before being carried on these poles toward smaller utility poles and service transformers. Adding them to a layout can visually connect power-generation and transmission structures with the neighborhoods and industrial areas that use the electricity.

Build a Modern HO Scale Power Grid

The Walthers Cornerstone Intermediate Height Wood Utility Poles kit includes detailed components for developing an electrical distribution network:

• Parts to build 12 intermediate-height utility poles
• Based on prototypes carrying reduced-voltage electrical distribution lines
• 36 separate insulators
• Insulators can be drilled to accept Walthers High-Voltage Power Transmission Wire 933-3344, sold separately
• Wood-grain texture molded into the poles
• Parts molded in brown and light gray
• Mounting pin on each pole simplifies installation into layout scenery
• Each pole measures 6-1/4" (17.5cm) tall, representing 45 scale feet above the surface

The 36 separate insulators provide mounting points for optional nonworking power lines, allowing modelers to extend the electrical network across a larger scene. Additional 933-4173 kits can also be combined to create longer utility corridors through industrial districts, along railroad rights-of-way, or between substations and developed areas.

Expand Your Walthers Cornerstone Utility Network

These Intermediate Height Wood Utility Poles fit naturally with Walthers Cornerstone tanks, towers and utility structures when building a larger electrical power system. They can be used between substations and smaller local utility poles to represent another stage in the movement of electricity from generating facilities to customers.

For larger power-generation and transmission scenes, combine the poles with Walthers Cornerstone heavy industry structures such as the Lakefront Energy Power Plant and Modern High-Voltage Transmission Towers. They can also extend electrical infrastructure into areas built with Walthers Cornerstone industrial structures and other rail-served businesses.

Additional components for completing utility and trackside scenes can be found in Walthers Cornerstone accessories and details.
