SR Concrete Fence Posts - pack of 2 end posts and 20 standard posts

£5.00

This kit is used to create a typical Southern Railway 8 wire concrete post fence. The fencing was used extensively by the Southern Railway. Typically the spacing between posts was around 18ft and the number of bays between straining posts was around 20 bays. I have not produced straining posts as 2 end posts and 20 standard posts is typically enough to produce a 1.5m run of fencing - more than enough for typical model railways. The end posts have 0.6mm holes in them at the correct spacing and all have had a 0.5mm drill run through them. The standard posts have dents on one side to help with positioning the wire. In real life the wire went through a split pin that went through the post with the ends of the split pins being splayed on the railway side. The test piece shown used invisible thread for the wire (obtained from any good sewing shop) which then has to be dry brushed with paint to stand out.
