Am looking for replacement brass handrail posts for Roundhouse 4-6-0 (part no. 2L-211). No luck with extensive net searches. Any suggestions based on experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Handrail stanchions
You might check Walther's. PSC use to have quite a selection but the PSC catalog now shows nothing for this application. I bought some from PSC a number of years aho. Very sad to see the selection is gone. Brass wire easy enough to find.
Check Bowser for detail parts.
You might try to Google psc handrail stanchions. An online supplier might have them.
One result from Google has a picture of the older PSC catalog with part numbers.

Have you tried Cal-Scale?

Cary (also owned by Bowser) makes stanchions as well. http://www.bowser-trains.com/images/Misc/Cary/Cary%20Parts%20Page%202.jpg

and, to crown their disgraceful proceedings and add insult to injury, they threw me over the Niagara Falls, and I got wet.

Have you tried........
making your own with a file and a piece of brass chucked in a drill?

Possible Fix From Outside the Box
Bachmann seems to use the same posts on many of it's HO steam Locomotives. You could buy a boiler shell or cheap locomotive from eBay and rob the post fom there. I see their older engines go for less than 10 dollars on a regular basis.

Well, since this afternoon. I know you don't approve, Pop, but believe me, until you've had a good cigar and a shot of whiskey, you're missing the second and third best things in life. <> Horton - Paint Your Wagon
