Great job on the handrails and a vast improvement over those chunky Atlas handrails. Could you please tell me the item-# of the SmokeyValley stanchions you are using?

I have been looking to do the same, did you have to fill the stanchion holes to put the smokey valley ones in? Nice work on the model, can't wait to see the end result.

Great job, looking good. Getting rid of those factory toy train handrails made a huge difference.

awesome work
was confused why I would find an NRE loco in an EMD section, but guess there is no other place for it.
do you have plans to change the sand filler? and front lights ?
