Atlas posted some time ago a list of part numbers to be used for fine replacement handrails for the first generation Gensets.

It did just try it and the new fine handrails are listed on stock and orders (e.g. mine ) are accepted.

I did not find the handrails in the Trainman parts department but they will popup if you search for "genset" in the parts store.
Each set of handrails sets is listed $7.95. Not a bargain but the old thick handrails need to be replaced.

Yes the Genset visual appearance will improve lots by just doing that. Looking forward to the transformation. Before and after pics would be great :-)

I'm still contemplating getting a dynamic brake version , as soon as it is released for the California Northern. They did a CFNR version of the previous non-dynamic release (and that's incorrect, all CFNR gensets are dynamic brake versions).

I don't like the Rail America colours though, but as I model the CFNR and would like to switch era from time to time, I guess it's what I need to get over ...

The handrails arrived today and I picked a BNSF engine for a test. It is better but not overwhelming. The end handrail units are composed of five parts. It takes some time to do one engine.

I think it does look lots better. To our eye these are both small parts, but next to an HO figure's hand, it's a difference of being able to grab hold of it ok, or almost needing two hands ;-)
