Detailing Kato PAs
« on: September 09, 2015, 01:29:14 PM »

I have a set of older Kato PA-1s and PB1 in Pennsylvania Brunswick  that I'd like to detail. Is there a ready source of roof stanchions used for creating the roof top antennas that run the length of the tops? I will be adding ws wipers, some wire grab rails, maybe sun shades. Thanks for any help.
PS  kind of buzzy now, will these quiet down with more hrs of run time?,

HI did you just get the set or you just had them in storage? if they have been sitting for a long time they may need lube. the bearings may be dry

I've have had them for several years but have not run them since 2013 when DCC was installed in all three.  Will look into lubing the shaft bearings & worms.

Gold Metal Models Pennsylvania R.R. Radio Antenna Mounts (116 parts, six types) P/N 160-33    $8.00

I believe these are the only game in town for Pennsy antennas.
