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.

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:

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.

I was on the tour today for the first time since Covid.
The pictures in this thread are beautiful for close ups, but to see the entire layout as it stands ...

Hi David, it was really nice to have you as a visitor to my layout yesterday!
Thanks so much for taking the time to come and visit my layout and with me.
I'm glad you enjoyed my viewing Magoun pier display in it's entirety.
