    Re: Track side power polls. —Christopher Masi
   (...) Looks very good. I was about to add the following: Too bad LEGO hasn't made (URL) in brown. But LEGO has in the Destroyer Droid. It wouldn't solve the scale issue (although, I don't think that there is one), but the pole would be smooth. Chris (19 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) Thats a great part, I hadnt thought about using that. Although you would have to get creative at the top. You would have to invert the whole top section. Dave www.GPLR.org (19 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) Or use a technic half peg to get a stud on which to place the top. (...) (19 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: Track side power polls. —David VinZant
     (...) That would work although it would alow for the whole top to spin around. Those half pegs dont have much of a friction hold. Dave www.GPLR.org (19 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: Track side power polls. —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Try the blue pill. Er, the blue ones. I think they have more friction, IIRC. BTW I personally think that the 1x1 round is a fine scale. I was being the devil's advocate. Minifigs have fat heads anyway! (19 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: Track side power polls. —David VinZant
     (...) I have a nother question, are these poles tall enough? (keeping with the scale of the 1x1's) Should I make them taller or shorter? Dave www.GPLR.org (19 years ago, 23-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Track side poles (was Re: Track side power polls. —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) In order: Yes, Yes and Yes. Hope that helps! More seriously, these poles (1) come in all heights, depending on the application. Telegraph poles, especially older ones, tend to be quite low, you could reach the wires with a stepladder, and (...) (19 years ago, 23-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) I did make the changes to my MOC's page. I guess I should have hit F7 before posting. But then again its not like I am righting j/k, writing a term paper here. ;) Dave www.GPLR.org (19 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Track side power polls. —Samarth Moray
   (...) I think that technic piston heads would have the correct scale. They're only slightly smaller than fig heads, which is basically the preferred scale, as Larry mentioned. No idea how you would stack them with valid connection points though..... (...) (19 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Track side power polls. —David VinZant
   (...) For that scale I am sure there are some LEGO Pen elliments that would work. But IMHO I think the 1x1 rounds are the right scale for Mini-Figs. Dave (19 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains)
