I have started to fit the telephone poles to the layout today. These are skewers that were kept from some chicken pieces that we had at Christmas. They have been washed and painted to represent poles.
I am then using sheering elastic as cables. This roll was purchased from Tesco for the sum of £1.70. There should be enough here to do everything that I need to do on the layout.
The photographs show a test fit of the elastic (cable), I plan to put multiple cables on the poles and then add feeder cables to each building. Watch this space for more updates.
