Electric Substations have been part of our lanscape ever since electricity has begun to be distributed by high tension overhead cables. The substation is where the ultra-high voltages carried by pylons are reduced to more manageable voltages to be used by both industrial and domestic consumers. There are hundreds scattered across the UK, and while often seen in or on the outskirts of towns and cities, they are sometime set just on their own in rural areas. The model will also look the part being placed close to a railway line, as they can often be spotted from carriage windows.
