Very impressive! Not many modelers think of pole lines. Pretty soon you will be able to 3D print a Class Y2!

 I want to share my current 3d modeling/printing project.  I needed to make these for my Blue Ridge module/diorama.  While I am at it, I thought I might as well make some alternates, too. A tremendous  thank you to Abe Burnett, Matt Goodman and Jeff Hawkins for information along the way.The only compromise that I made is the crossarms are 3x5 inches, as opposed to the real ones which appear to be 2x4 (they are a little skinnier looking on the real prototype). I did this to add just a little bit of strength to the finished model.  I will be stringing EZ Wire on these when I am finished with scenery (the grass below needs work still - I don't care for it)

 
   
this is cropped from a photo and I don't know the photographer.

Here's a rendered version of the more standard pole from other parts of the railroad. I haven't printed this yet, but it will certainly not be an issues, since the upper crossarm is just the lower crossarm, shortened.Here are my Blue Ridge crossarms off the printer
