Excellent video, concise and goes way more into detail than most do on the subject. --Now a ranty addendum A word of warning for anyone planning wires themselves. While materials like thread and fine wire "work" it sort of becomes a hazard that can lead to what happened in the video with how stiff these materials are. Make sure if any wires are added its something elastic like EZ line to avoid damaging the wires or the poles. Aaannd.... Only bother doing it at the foreground. While stuff like fine EZ line is actually surprisingly scale appropriate for N mathematically, stuff is damn near invisible beyond 2ft.
Oh, yes. That's absolutely true. I never bothered trying to model the actual wires because I feel they would be too much of an obstacle when working on the modules or just trying to clean the track.

The poles turned out beautifully! Nicely done.
Those telephone poles are cool.
Great tutorial video. 👍
Nice job. Bob
Maybe done in N scale, but usefull info for us in HO scale too. Thanks for sharing
Nice poles!
Power crossarms are thicker and shorter than railroad communication arms.
