I bought a set of Rix telephone poles on ebay for Novahill from all places Australia (they where cheaper and came very quickly) i need to know the spacing between them typically and thought i had seen something about it on here but cant remember where ?
Any ideas please would be gratefully recieved.

It was on my Z scale Ridley thread Nick. Erhard said he uses a 40ft wagon as a rough guide. (I think!)
That's what I did and it looks fine, anyway.

Tom,
In the late 1800's, the poles were set up at a distance of about 50 feet. I usually use a 40' boxcar to mjeasure the poles' location in order to suggest distance when photographed (and most of my modules are built with taking pictures in mind).
