Scenic video documenting the choice and installation of a Sub-station on Ewhurst Green covering groundworks and undertaking static grass.
On the Southern Region sub-stations abound and this scenic video covers the choice of and installation of a Cathedral Sub-station for Ewhurst Green.
Up to c.1930 the Southern Railway (and its predecessors) used what are commonly known as Cathedral sub-stations due to their impressive size; this being necessary to contain both the transformers (dropping the voltage from 33kV* up to 750v) and rotary converters (motor-generator sets) to convert the supply from AC to DC.
From c.1930 the Southern Railway adopted mercury-arc rectifiers and external high-voltage switch farms, enabling a standard 'raft' design that can be seen over much of the network including the Brighton Main Line and the East /West Coastways.
Fortunately Bachmann produce models representing both types and it quickly became apparent that the Cathedral type would look for more impressive on Ewhurst Green.
Accordingly this video follows the installation of a Cathedral Sub-station with Ewhurst Green intially being at the furtherest extent of of the electrified London-area network.
* Some distribution in London is at 66kV. A few lines such at Tattenham Corner and Tonbridge to Bo-Peep have 11kV feeders.

Really interesting video on how to undertake placement of a building and its surrounds - particularly raising the height of that building too! Didn't realise static grass was that straightforward either - well done and thank you!

Hi Colin, that all looks excellent. Thanks for the demo, static grass application is some dark magic but very effective! Hope you are having a grand weekend . Dan

Dan, thank you. None of it is particularly difficult - it just needs confidence and a little research on the desired outcome! - Colin

Hi Colin, absolutely fascinating and a brilliant effect. I've always wondered how the static grass works, are there batteries in the applicator? The results of your efforts were really convincing 🎉

Mike, thank you! The static grass applicator uses a 9v PP3 and it is relatively straighforward to use even with my degraded vision. Colin

Wonderful video Colin and a great layout, l have just made a vegetable plot as you have seen did you make the vegetables or buy them if so what was the make because l might be interested in buying some 😊. Thanks again for the information you have given me it's really appreciated all the best Colin from Mossend railway oo 😊.

Colin, thank you and I saw your excellent vegetable plot. _The vegetables come from my local supermarket although you mus buy them in shrink wrap for 4mm...._ Sorry, couldn't resist. Most of the vegetables are from continental H0 and N-gague ranges. Some are kits; others ready made like the tomato plants (N-gauge). There used to be many vegetable plots on the railway - a legacy from the war although most have dissapeared now. Kind regards, Colin
