TMo, thanks very much for your kind words!
I have also finished off the final detailing of this scene, by adding the working street lamps and wires to the utility poles.
Also the weeds and figures to the scene.
Here are a few photos showing those things.

Awesome! What did you use for the wire?

Bruce & TMo, thanks very much guys for your kind words!
TMo, I just used the brown thread that comes in this kit for the wires.

Who makes the kit and where did you procure it? My upcoming work on the foreground for White Haven is tailor made for some electrical service...

I did run into these on a web search and the prices seem very reasonable: https://www.sierrascalemodels.com/lines.htm

Hey TMo, the kit that included my utility poles was from "Fine Scale Miniatures" they are now out of Business.
That stuff from "Sierra Scale Models" looks very similar to what came with my FSM's kit.
So I would go with them, if your really interested in building your own utility poles on your layout.

Thanks for the advice! I took a look around for "Fine Scale Minitures" on ebay - no luck on the poles and wires kit, but there were a lot of other nice kits in there that were up for rather large sums. Looks like I'll be buying the Sierra kit soon.
