All the hand rails, already added.

I bought the above one because I butchered up the previous SP caboose by not shaking the 'rattle can' enough and ruined the roof of the caboose.  This model required the metal hand rails to be drilled/added.  I used thin CA glue but left some shinny areas so I sprayed it with dull coat.  

I tried alcohol, turpentine but no luck getting the dull coat off.  Being a plastic part, no way could I used lacquer thinner or acetone to remove the dull coat. 

So, until I get around to sanding it off, I just bought another SP caboose.  At least it's only on the roof and not the rest of the caboose.   Since a lot of cabeese had tar/paper added to the roofs, it would probably look more 'scale' painting the roof 'as is', leaving all those cracks, etc!  Hard to find pictures of roofs of rolling stock: not exactly an easy item to photograph.
