Telegraph1 4wire

UK type 1-3 spar 4-12 wire divider and different initiator/terminator telegraph pole splines. These replace the previous pre-SP3 telegraph pole sets. A few improvements now include better wood textures, pole steps, and additional guy cables, and are very accurate in dimensions. In reality the height varied, these ones are all 8.5 metres high (approx 28ft) and the wires were kept very taut with little or no sagging. The insulators were made of porcelain, none were made of glass as used in the US, Canada and Australia. These telegraph poles were used for signal and points relay switching, communications, and higher voltage lines, between signal boxes, relay stations and sub-relay boxes. Telegraph poles of various configuations were a common sight beside the railway trackside right up untill the late 1960s. They then quickly dissapeared, and were replaced by pvc insulated ground layed cables. Future models planned are Australian type telegraph poles, and electricity and telephone poles. After installing, go into Trainz Surveyor, Objects Panel/Splines under Britain, the rotating 3d thumbnail does not show them up too well (as wires only). They can be placed ANYWHERE on your layout, not just by the side of the track. After placing by the track and IF they do not appear, just place a little outside the vicinity of the track they WILL then appear and just move them back again. They are highly detailed models, and are not recommended for slower PC systems. Low poly type poles may emerge later on for better framerate, using flat 2 sided planes for the insulators, et. These models were created with Discreet's GMAX 3D program. I may make these telegraph pole sets available for Microsoft Train Simulator, but you will NOT be able to spline them, as in Trainz, so they will be diffilcult to join up. All models tested on an Athlon 1600XP, with Nvidia GeForce 2 with latest drivers, under WinXP, with no serious drop in framerate, even with the 6 spar telegraph poles.
