New Product - Plastic Electrical Insulators

Hi All,

As I continue building a product line of Electrical Towers and Substations, I am pleased to announce that we have had plastic injected Insulators made using an US prototype. They have a hole through the center to accept a wire and come in a 24-Pack for $3.50. The length = .185in and the dia = .1in. You can glue multiple insulators together for larger pieces. Expect even smaller ones in the next few months.


Enjoy

Nice.  I wonder if they can be used on electric engines as well.

Sweet.  Thanks Bob. 
Now ones to fit to lineside poles would really be awesome.  Like the ones Rix makes in HO.  In fact, crossarms and poles would be great also.

Aaaaaah, Pole Transformers (JK)

Yes they are plastic injection molds. Patience, it takes a lot to switch from brass to plastic.
