Athearn detail parts

[Anonymous]

Am searching for a couple of window sets for my SD40-2's and the hand rails for a bay window caboose. Any direction on where to inquire on ordering these parts will be appreciated.

If you are looking for "factory replacements", the "Walthers catalog" should have them. If you want more "scale" windows, etc. Check out "Cannon" parts. (also in the Walthers cat.). For really good detail, I would replace the entire Athearn cab with a Cannon unit. I did this with an older Athearn switcher, and, believe me, it makes all the difference in the world. Since then, I have outfitted my entire switcher fleet with Cannon cabs, most with interiors too. The cab is the most "looked at" part of the engine as far as I'm concerned, so good detail here is paramount. Also, don't forget to add grab irons, lifting loops, MU hoses, etc. Follow all that up with a good weathering job, and you can't lose.

well you know that clear paper stuff ya can use on ya over head projector , well ya could use that stuff for ya windows , its thin and real clear and works well and if ya after hand rails for a caboose , you could just use bit of brass wire , cut and bend to shape and paint of course .

i have switched over to "run8 production"
they have a nice set of windows and they run about 2.50 a set. a good product, nice price
