High Voltage (but it's not Rock 'n Roll)

As an Aussie, whenever I think of High Voltage, I automatically think of the song by our iconic Rock band AC/DC, although I'd have to say that they're not one of my favourites.  Similarly, the latest accessory for the Standard Gauge railway in the Trainbarn- the #94 High Tension Towers.  These are a great accessory, and at 22" high will add a new dimension to the layout, but I really don't like the real thing!!  The sight of high tension towers marring an otherwise attractive natural landscape definitely doesn't impress me, but I do like the accessory!

These date from the 1930's, as does the # 840 Industrial Power Station, which is a mammoth accessory, but one that I'd like to have on my layout.  My Towers are the grey with terra-cotta base variety, which I really like, and they were also produced in silver with a red base.

I'm hard at work finishing the clearing of the Trainbarn site, removing horrible tea-tree regrowth.  Only a few more days work and it will be ready to survey, as it has a gentle slope.  I'm waiting on a rough estimate for the building from our builder, so things are definitely happening for the Trainbarn!!  And like our cottage it will be solar-powered, so definitely no need for High Tension Towers!!
