Smokey Valley stanchions for a SD7 - not the right height

[depotman1999]

Smokey Valley stanchion kit #100 seems to be several scale inches below the plastic ones that came with a P2k loco.  Anyone know what the correct prototype height is for the handrails?

Thanks,

Measuring off the plans in the Kalmbach book  (SD7, GP7. GP20), it looks to be 3'-1" to 3'-2" from deck to centerline of handrail.

Thanks Ed.

Just has I thought, the Smokey Valley stanchions are too short.
