Testing pole placement

Instead of coming to terms with Godzilla I decided to do something more mundane: test the placement of a pole pair that will be used to suspend streetcar wire along the layout. For the stretch of road along the old city section of Ocean Boulevard I'll need 5 pairs of these units.

From this angle the cross-road suspension wire looks too low, but it looks just fine when viewed from the side. So far, so good. I'll also need to make some sort of jig to align the main overhead wire. 

Lots of interesting projects on the horizon. If this were a normal year I'd be putting the pedal-to-the-metal right about now on these sorts of projects so the layout would be ready for Christmas get-togethers, but that seems unlikely.
