I didn't like the plastic handrails on my Stewert U-25 b so I made them out of brass  wire.

Nice job. Oh, that was already mentioned. How about Great job then. Yes, sometimes I find a piece of plastic handrail out on the mainline and wonder just how that happened when nobody touched the Engine.

Oh and I do not feel to bad about my workbench now. We would be running neck and neck if in competion.Big Smile

Phosphor Bronze wire works good also for handrails.
