PRR 2-rail safety fence stanchions - anybody make them?

I know that Alkem had a few of these on their lineside details etched brass set, but that provided relatively few stanchions on a relatively expensive sheet of other stuff.  Has anyone else offered these?  They are kind of essential when modeling the PRR railroad landscape.

Traincat did/does. Two and three rail versions. http://traincat2.com/. Look under lineside details.

Never argue with idiots; they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Do I understand correctly in that TrainCat is not going out of business, but rather, ceasing continual production of freight cars and the rest of his awesome details will still be available?

He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

Yes, you understood that correctly. He is simpy discontinuing his line of rolling stock kits.

IIRC, David K. Smith has recently been in touch with Bob from TrainCat and as suspected, Bob is going through another bout of personal problems.  Since TrainCat is probably a one-man operation, we just need to be patient...

I wish Bob well and look forward to his return. ;)   I'm willing wait to get my hands on a few of his B&O CPL signals and some detail upgrades for my fleet of ACF 3560's.

I recall that, too. Hope the best for the chap.
