Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Is this campaign only for a separately-applied railing (a la Kato NW2) or does it include one that is molded on (a la LL SW1200)? I might prefer to go without one that was molded in place so I could fabricate one out of wire and eyebolts.

I thought they had already started they are going to do the hood mounted handrails. Didn't Joe state try will be doing deck handrails, hood handrails and an SP specific type?

Its worth noting that the K&IT switchers didn't stay that way... when assimilated by the Southern Railway they received standard outboard handrails...

So did the KCS at some point.  All the grey ones had standard handrails.

Yeah he said planned to continue with Flexcoil Trucks, SP Prototype and Hood Handrails.. (2 out of 3 have come true so far.)

Last I remember, at best, SP could get extra parts to do the lights that the modeler would have to apply.   :?

NEW SP-specific lights and number board details, and all new Flexi-Coil Trucks!

I'd be fine with separately applied handrails for the CR units.. ... ~Ian
