Looks good, are you going to wire them and if so what are you going to use for the wire?

Now that's impressive. I have a large bag of small black beads and wondered what I could do with them. I've not planted any poles on my layout yet, but when I do, this is the way to go.

Very nice. Look good to me!

Thanks! :-P Tyson, I plan to eventually wire them with E-Z Line from Berkshire Junction. That, of course, depends on two things.
1. How good a job I did gluing on the insulators, if they'll hold the wire, and more importantly 2. When I can settle on a place to put them. I have a bad habit of moving things around. ![]()

I experimented a bit with little bottles of paint that are supposedly for putting drops of colour on cloth. Some of them are transparent and look like glass. The bottle is squeezable and it's a little tricky getting the right size drop.
Then the pole is hung upside-down until it sets. There's a picture of my attempt on a couple of O gauge poles. On one of the Gauges. Somewhere.

I may try that. I did use some "glitter glue" on the side pin poles to give the insulators some shape.

More poles. I tried gluing some green insulators on the old Bachmann pole that donated its insulators for the first picture. It doesn't show in the picture, but you do get the see-through effect.
