Power substation?

Hi, I'm actually sort of baffled that something like this isn't available on the stores I usually go to. I've searched the DAZ store, the Renderosity store, and even a bit of ShareCG - I'm looking for an electrical substation. Something nice and practical, like this: https://i2.wp.com/www.anelectricalengineer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Electrical-Substation-thm.jpg?fit=567,389&ssl=1
Anyone have any ideas?

Not really electric, but maybe some kitbashing can be done to create a similar atmosphere with products from the "Steel Town" series from DarkMatter?
Oh that's interesting, I was not aware that product existed. It does look similar to what I'm imagining in terms of ambience - it would need some circuit breakers and power lines, at the very least, to make it really convincing, though.
Edit: I did see some cool substation models on Turbosquid - I'm not too familiar with that site though, as it's fairly expensive. Do the models from there work out-of-the-box in Daz?
PLus slightly sci-fi: https://www.daz3d.com/high-voltage or some of Nightshift3D's other works https://www.daz3d.com/nightshift3d
Right, yeah, I've used that one some - it's a little small and rusty-looking, though. Not a bad idea though, I might see what I can do with that.
some of the Frankenstein lab type sets have some components you can use

and a few at Renderosity and likely stuff at shareCG you can kitbash

Well, I just ended up buying a cheap substation asset from Turbosquid. It looks pretty good and will serve my purposes well enough. Thanks anyway, guys ; I do think utilities in general, and electrical stuff in particular, is somewhat missing in terms of 3D assets from Daz. There's some half-decent older assets, but yeah, it'd be nice if it were updated a bit.
These look cool, I've downloaded one or two already. Thanks for your help!
I just stumbled on this is the failed flash sale
