There is, of course, the roll-your-own option for handrails like I did on my N scale SP SW1200's.



Wait - the number boards on the hood are lighted?  :o Amazing! (never mind the awesome handrails!).

Yes, those lit number boards are nice. That was one of John's early Keystone Details items.  There was a thread here about their development.

These were done with GMM stanchions and phosphor bronze wire...









Couldn't be more pleased with how these came out!

tehachapifan: At first I thought that this was more of Wolfs work. Great job! Why is it that when I'm at work all I want to do is go home and work on my model trains, but once I do get home all I want to do is sleep? Where is that road that is paved with good intentions?

It's in Pennsylvania, which means it's currently closed for pothole repairs.  The detour signs sent me over the road paved with squirrels who couldn't make a decision...   :D

Thanks! Yes, as John pointed out, these are the Keystone numberboards.

While I have long since lost my mind, I am still modeling the SP. I'll let you know if that changes.  ;)

Having one's work confused for Wolf's is the highest of compliments! :D

If anyone's been waiting for one, there's a 10% off locomotives sale going on at MBK right now with the code LOCO10.

Cool.  8) That'll bring the price down close to Lombard's regular price.  ;)
