Hello,
I have an older Athern Geneis "yellow box" SD70MAC that is overall in good condition. It is missing the front and rear handrails as well as lacks a snow plow and any trainline hoses. The side handrails are still there but they are kinda plasticy and flimsy. I have been searching around but I am not quite sure where to locate the parts to restore this model. I have seen reference to fabricating hand rails from brass. Would that be the best bet to gett he handrails?
Any help is greatly apprecaited!
Snowplow and trainline hoses will be easiest - Details West should have both. Just paint and glue into place.
Handrails are a bit trickier - sometimes they get listed on the bay of e, otherwise the brass stanchions from Precision Scale and phospher bronze wire from Titchy. Some scratchbuilding/assembly/bending required before painting. (Front and rear require fine chain from A-Line as well for the center walkway chains.)
