General Discussion (Model Railroader)

OK, I just got off the phone with a guy in the parts department at Bachmann and he had no clue about anything HO scale.  I need six complete sets of handrails for the Bachmann HO scale GP30 and all I had was the part number for the whole locomotive (#60808). 

I need a parts breakdown sheet that would come with a new locomotive.  Does anybody have one that they could scan for me?  Or just shoot me the part number for the handrails?

Thanks.

On my GP30, the handrails sorta curve w/ the body at the front and back, so I doubt if the GP35 would help, but then again, the GP35 could as well.

Sorry, hammer, but I cut ties w/ bachmann as soon as I got really serious. IDK if you could find the answers on Bachmann's website.

They might not be available separately. This place sells them for that engine.

If worse comes to worse, I will use Athearn Stantions and make my own from .019 inch wire.  I have done it before but wanted to avoid the hastle. 

Hammer,

If what you need is for a phase 1 GP30, the item number for the handrail package is 584034. But if you need the handrail package for the phase 2, it is 584226.

EDIT: Hammer I screwed up.. These part numbers are for the Life-Like P2K GP30's. which should probably work for the Bachmann GP30.

That's what I did with my Bachmann DD40X. That may be the better way to go, since the Bachmann railings are a little thick.

Hammer,

The parts diagram for the Bachmann Spectrum GP30, that I have (Item No. 82049, Undec) does not show a separate part number for the handrails. It appears to packaged with the body shell (item No. 6020).

Yup... just found that out.  I had to order a complete shell for about 20 bucks just to get the handrails.  If the handrails fit my shells I will order the other 3 that I need take the handrails off and sell the new shells on evil-bay.

Actually the newer ones are pretty thin with nice rivet detail.
