Hi all, I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks (holiday season etc), so perhaps still a belated Happy New Year to all of you!
Anyway, started a new project to super detail two Athearn UP C44-9W locomotives. I got these recently via E-Bay, and are NOT Genesis versions, but rather the older style ' bluebox'. They therefore have the fairly crude and simple (but strong) metal handrails. I'd like to replace them with some better looking types (especially the stancions etc should be improved) but I haven't found a set of parts that fit this so far. A lot is available for EMD types locomotives, and I found a set for a Rail Power Product shell, but not yet Athearn. Does anyone have any suggestions, have done it themselves perhaps ? Cheers!
