Bridge Trolley Support (Set of 3) – HO Scale

This is a HO scale device. In Montana and Eastern Idaho the Milwaukee Railroad used creosote treated poles for trolley support on the electrified regions. When they crossed a long bridge, Blacktail Trestle outside of Butte, Montana for example, these devices were riveted on the side of the bridge to support the trolley poles. See Trolley Pole Group for the poles.

Please note: Because of the scale these are fragile. I tried to leave enough clearance so the poles would fit, however it is your responsibility to be sure not to force pole into the stirrup. I have added a sprue to connect the supports into one model, Lightly sand the sprue away after cutting the extra material away from the support. Also, be sure to wash the parts with a mild mixture of dish soap before attempting to paint. I hope you enjoy the model.
