I am on the hunt. Found a few that seem usable
alco's forever!!!!! Majoring in HO scale Minorig in O scale:)
I would just keep looking on eBay for another GP18 that "needs work", and harvest the handrails from that one.

rs2mike thanks for the info. truth be told i never thought about using an atlas or athearn handrail.. might already have an athearn one sitting around somewhere. then again i may have thrown it away

(Can also be a curse, when you can' find anything in the boxes of mostly useless junk that nobody can even identify.)

With work, you should be able to use other brands hand railings. Atlas and the new model Athearn come to mind, also Walthers. As long as the models match the prototype dimensions it should work and GP7, GP9 and GP18 are possible sources.
Just a couple of suggestions, as I have none to sell you, but there are some pretty cheap P2K GP18's on Ebay, and also check with Smokey Valley.
