The natural poles in this kit come already painted depicting weather-stained, pressure treated wood. The other parts are cast in metal "just like the prototype" and ready to be painted. The kit comes with everything that you see in the picture, including the wires needed to make this look like the real thing Duro Brand CA glue recommended. The transformers in this kit feature our large sized transformers.--- A word about our Power Pole Kits: A 30 Ft. HO Scaled pole would be 4.1 inches in height. A 40 Ft. pole would be 5.5 inches. These poles are sharpened on the base and are slightly taller than these dimensions to allow for pole insertion into your scenery.
