Yes, A-line stanchions are perfect replacements for missing Athearn stanchions. They even make a couple of sizes that are different from Athearns.

Living the dream.
The web site gives the dimensions of the stanchions, I've never measured the Athearn stanchions. You'd have to measure and do a comparison.

They look like they will work to me.
I tried to find Smokey Valley's web site, but I'm not having any luck. Maybe they are gone?
Walthers doesn't show anything for Smikey Valley either. They must be gone.

Been fixing up an old Athearn BB GP50 but I'm missing several stanchions. I'd also like to make them look a little better and in scale.
Do A-line stanchions work with stock Athearn BB handrails, and are the A-line stanchions any narrower than the regular Athearn ones?
Thanks!
