@ jamoldover

Good evening sir!
And thank you so much for your comments!
My Handrail are made out of 210 Gram paper, doubled and glued...
I've attached a picture of the templates of the same, for your reference! That should clear the doubts.

I feel that the Railings and Stanchions should be attached, managing each railing part seperately becomes a handful... The trial I did with the parts seperate was somewhat successful, but I was more frustrated and unhappy with the finish.

Since the locomotive is almost in the O scale, paper handrail are possible. I'm afraid that they won't be possible if your model is smaller than O scale. Maybe doable in S scale, but definitely not in HO. My friend who models in HO uses thin gauge copper wire instead...

I feel that they still look a little chunky, however 2mm wide lines was the thinnest I could cut. (I've got natural tremors in my hands, which prevents me from cutting very small parts)

Hope I could be of some help... Please let me know if there is any other way I can help :-)

-Prabal

Hi just went through the tread ands the model looks amazing.
Also any update? where are you planning to sell it?
I also made some LHB coach models(which are on ecardmodels) and a WAP 4 &
7 but yours is far better, actually your model inspired me to make a enhancement kit for my models

Hi Rich,

Greetings! Hope you are keeping well! Thanks for the appreciation
I do plan to sell the model... Currently working on getting it tested by other builders. Most of the test builds are done, so the model should be available soon.
Just out of curiosity, could you post pictures of the LHB coach model (completed, ofcourse) available on Ecardmodels? I'd love to see the offering...

Regards,
Prabal
