N Scale of Nevada - New Owner?

[jnevis]

I have a few of the masters too.  Mostly the cab noses and some brake parts.  I have offered them to a few people, since they came with more parts than I'd be able to use and have no interest in trying to make molds for them.  Everyone I offered them too declined so they are still sitting in a box in my offic.  Since a lot of stuff has moved into and out of the office in the last couple months they may not even be readily available (but able to be located) for anyone that wants them.

Can't wait to see the new poles!!! I am amazed that we still do not have "correct" lineside (10 insulator per arm) - poles in N.

                  The NSN Poles are Southern Pacific Prototypes,John did alot of SP modeling. They are very nice and will pass for UP and some other roads designs,but the distinctive large "V" ahaped brace that holds the crossarms together and attaches to the pole are a distinctive SP feature (look).

Well, at the risk of going all rivet-counter on utility poles, it seems like a pretty ubiquitous design to me; and one commonly found up here in Minnesota -



The appeal of the NSN poles for me (apart from the looks) is the fact that they don't have so danged many cross-arms. Most of the poles around here have one or two arms at most (unlike the Atlas, Bachmann, et al poles that have more arms than an octopus - most of which need to be pruned off before I can use them).

We'll have to run this by the Society of Utility Line Modelers just to be sure.
