During the weekend I managed to paint my "Dalkulla" of course in the traditional Swedish colour "Falu Röd"(Falu Red). Here are som pictures of my electrical sub station (Dalkulla)
...and a picture of the original that inspired my build...
It turned out quite well, on of a kind as Monty mentioned, at least on a wargaming table I hope;) In the real world I suppouse there are about 10ish left i Dalarna but back in the 1930´3 it would have been one in each small village to transform the high power to low power that was then distributed out to the surounding houses.
That's one quirky piece of electrical engineering; it looks more like the Moomins' house than a substation, and I wish Australian electricity providers were as imaginative in their architecture!
Was this a one-of-a-kind or are there more like that in Sweden?
A great piece of terrain as well - it will no doubt inspire much comment around the table!
Fantastic. I don't think I have ever seen a better sub-station in the world or on the table!! A great addition, well worthy of any game!
