Please excuse my double, he never does what I ask him to 
Well here we are as promised, the HYDRO POLES, they are in fact the heart of my layout, excluding the power source of course.
Without which I could not have shown you a Lego Christmas tree with lights.
The poles are spaced throughout the diorama, providing power where we choose to send it.
I used an #18 guage stranded copper wire with brown insulation for the DC conductors pole to pole, there are only 3 breaks.
The pole itself is a 3/8 wooden dowel, Lego would have taken way to long to glue for strength
Do you see metal, they are the #4 machine screws used to hold the Lego Hydro pole cross arms, you'll need to do a little drilling to make all this happen....
By the way, please excuse the cobwebs, they were really hard to build...
without further ado, here are the pics I intended to show you in the first place












You wanna do this, it's easy, trust me and a whole lot of fun when you can look back and simply say, That's sooo cool
