That is great work! Don't have Kohs Y6 to loan you. O is the way to go!

 Now, who will loan me a Kohs & Co Y6b for a photo-op once I get a pole assembled and painted? 🙂  The crossarms are a 1/2 inch over-sized, because I couldn't tell which was which when I printed both and it was significantly more resilient to snapping.

The braces are even prototypically thin, and lean back to the pole, from the front of the crossarm, as on the prototype.
Insulators are based on real insulators from diagrams provided to me by Abe Burnett

Check out that bolt detail. And, it all printed fine. Man, I am jealous of O scale.That chamfer you see on top of the crossarms is prototypical. It makes sense for rain-shedding purposes.

These next two pics are my first batch and the white residue is resin that did not get rinsed off the model properly before I put them in the UV curing station. It's kind of like when toothpaste dries on your clothes. You can scrape it off with a knife blade, your fingernail, or even fine sandpaper.
