It can lay inside or on the rail head and butt up to the bottom flange. Add sufficient thickness of styrene to build it up level with the bottom flange or, if you like, file back the flange until it is flush with the styrene. The Rix cross arms, suitably adjusted, can then easily be glued to the styrene. Make the length of the styrene long enough to cover the cross bars and the bottom of the brace only. With everything painted, the styrene strip is hardly noticeable.<br /><br />I have found this method works well when you are seeking to mass produce the line poles.<br /><br />cheers PhilPhil Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268733501548280685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996073030941560983.post-64683832943440545292018-06-28T23:18:19.392-07:002018-06-28T23:18:19.392-07:00One of the advantages of doing this blog, is that ...One of the advantages of doing this blog, is that one gets to hear about other people's efforts. I am grateful to Bob Stack for supplying some prototype information, and a link to Bylong's post in December 2013, where Ray tackles the subject of Line poles, a little differently from me. Put this link into your browser. Thanks Bob, and Ray<br /><br />http://bylong.blogspot.com/2013/12/how-i-make-nswgr-line-poles.htmlRob Nesbitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057159654871941767noreply@blogger.com
