Title: Bachmann GP30 handrails
Post by: armchairmodeller on July 27, 2011, 01:48:43 PM
I have recently been fortunate to be given a Bachmann "Spectrum" EMD GP30 loco. It is the one decorated as a "Demonstrator" loco.

The plastic handrails are broken and I would like to replace them with brass wire handrails.

Does anyone make a kit or built up set of brass stanchions and handrails to relpace Bachmann's plastic effort.

The whole thing is going to get a repaint, probably to CSX livery.

Any advice please?

armchair-

I'm not aware of any such brass sets, but then I model an
earlier era so I might not have made note of seeing an ad
for them. However, it should be quite easy to scratch build
the railings from brass wire.
