.3mm brass vs. .25mm stainless for etched handrails.

LOL - ....
End handrails are usually the same height (or close) as the ones on the sides.

Yeah, but this is the eSPee, look at the proto photo.

LOL - that was my thought exactly. What were you thinking?  But those could be used as chin-up bars by the conductor.

Look at his prototype photo, he's not that far off.

Maybe a tad. But you sure underdid it with the weathering 
Nice engine Wolf, what's with the skewed cab?

Thanks Otto,

RE: The cab -- I didn't snap it all the way on. It is corrected. LOL
Pictures can be unforgiving!!

Oh alright.    It still looks odd to me.

I should have made them to be below the head light..... perhaps, I'll redo them.  Shouldn't take to much to shorten them a tad.

I use .125mm stainless and make the handrails .125mm wide. Paint increases the overall thickness and the stainless is strong enough to withstand handling. The Keyser Valley caboose has .125mm stainless grabs.

Your Keyser Valley caboose etchings are by far the best I have ever worked with Bryan.  I have a list of projects requiring etched wire parts.  Thanks for sharing the dimension guidelines.
