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.)

Athern Genesis SD70MAC Parts
Posted by brandonbittinger on Tuesday, November 16, 2021 9:49 AM

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!
