Telephone Lines in HO And N Scale

Edwyn has kindly sent in this model train tip for publication:

“Here’s a tip to help add ‘depth’ to a layout. If you are modelling, say, in HO and you have telephone lines running into the background, use N scale poles for the last 3-4 say. Their smaller size helps create an illusion of distance.”
