The next N scale detail from NZT

[daniel_leavitt2000]

The ones we use up here have simple posts instead of a fancy insulator. That should cut your failure rate to virtually nothing.

Yikes, and they're out of stock on some items already...

Ian, can you get some more images of the style of transformer you have? I'm re-mastering the one I'm developing (to make them easier to pull from the molds), and I thought I'd perhaps make a couple of variations.

Oddly enough I had to visit the local power district office last night on a call.

[DKS]

Excellent, thank you. So, not too far removed from what I'd done; just needs shorter HV insulators.

[Ian MacMillan]

Also what these dont have that you see on them up here is the HV insulators have a plastic "ice cream cone" that goes over them so that snow and ice dont build up on them. The tip of the cone is face up and has a hole in it where the HV wire comes in. That cone may make casting easier.

Edit
You can see one in photo 2 and photo 5 on the transformer just to the back left. That cone is too short for that insulator though, so it is most likely just placed there for now.

Yeah, this is Officer Mac, are you seeing an active alarm at the local power district office?

No, sir.

<bang>

How about now?

That would be a good thing!
