    I have been out of the loop for a few days. Drove for 2 days to south Texas to spend the holidays with family. This is also the place where I last left a box that had the reversed etched detail for the SD70ACe's. Some of you have requested these side handrails for possible scratch builds or kit bashing. Thought I'd start a new thread as a possible source for parts and materials to help Z scalers build what they most want.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I will start it off by saying, currently, I have about 12 more sets, possibly more, of those reversed SD70ACe side handrails. I do have 2 sets waiting to be sent off to a fellow Z scaler. But I have about 12 left. Please note these are slightly different from the final SD70ACe version sent with the kits. These have a section that bends to resemble an angle. The bend was used to stiffen the handrail and have more adhesive surface, but proved to be too complicated and looked odd so I did away with it for the final version.

    If you plan on building a new loco and want some handrails to experiment with I have some. Please limit yourself to 2 pair so I can spread the wealth. I package between cardboard sent in an envelope to keep postage down to a stamp if possible. Across the pond might be a bit more. Since these are scrap I offer them for free.

    I know there are a few other companies that make supplies for scratch builders, just can't get pass my brain lock right now. Please, someone post any other resourses for scratch builders and kit bashers to this thread.

    -------------------

    If you have Z items that you no longer need or want, post them here. Someone might be looking for them. Don't throw items away.

    I offer my handrails for free. Doesn't mean all items will be free, just possibly locate-able and negotiate-able. Please don't ask an arm and a leg for a penny item.

    If you have any items you are looking for (Needed) or items you have in excess (Have Excess or For Sale), post them here, Post away!!!!
