I am looking for brass [or metal] stantions that can be bored and hold a rod for Weaver tank cars. Its the lower rod that goes between the end platforms and supports the side access ladder to the tank car manhole on the roof. I believe PSC had two lengths of stantions being sold. I can bend piano wire to make the railings and just need the support side stantions.
And yes about a month ago someone graciously sent me some extra 2 rail tank car kits. They are so nice that it would be a SIN to rob them of their parts...even the undecorated model!
FWIW, I recently purchased a 50 Ft. Weaver tank car decorated for OGR. This was a late production seeing that Weaver models slightly up'd their game by installing wire instead of molded plastic on the tank roof platform.
Thanks in advance for your assistance in this matter.
