Posted by METRO on Thursday, June 10, 2004 11:07 PM

I've decied to replace the handrails on my Athearn hood units with more realistic handrails and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a good company to buy the handrails from?

Yup, Smokey Valley has lots of replacement brass handrail sets but I would strongly recommend you only buy one set and install it. They aren't easy and are a pain in the tush. But they look great when finished.

Modular railroading at its best!
If it has an X in it, it sucks! And yes, I just had my modeler's license renewed last week!
