I thought the same thing too about the height. So I found this on the net while looking for the average height of a telephone pole at about 20ft, 40ft, and 60ft high. I made a utility pole a while back to go with my interlocking tower, however cut a portion of the base off the structure because I decided to put it along the fascia edge and the pole hung off the side. I still have the portion of the utility pole embedded in the base. Long story short, I think I measured it to about 40' high which seemed like a good happy medium.
Don't get me wrong though, its hard to critique your efforts Steve when everything looks so great. I wonder if parking a loco next to the pole would help give folks some perspective on the over all height I suspect that because it is in the foreground it only looks reeeeally tall.
