Mr. Bachmann,
Are the handrail stanchions on the new tank car plastic or metal? I looked at photos and can't tell. I am hoping they are metal for durabilities sake as I have seen broken rail holders on Accu's tankcars .
Not to steal any of the Bach Man's thunder, but the hand rails are metal.
I have one of each narrow frame and frameless tank cars. These are well built and detailed cars.

Where did you get your tank cars? I went over to the pictures and took a look at them. I would like to get a UTLX and a gondola. Bruce
Jon, I know the handrails are metal,what I would like to know is are the stanchions/brackets for the rails made of metal? Yes it is a beautiful model!!! ???

Oops! Sorry. :-[ The stanchions are plastic. They do seem a little more robust than those used on the Bachmann Big Hauler tank cars.
