Hello all,
This past weekend I picked up a fairly crusty #38 that had a pretty hard life. I rewired the motor and it seems to be running nice down the track. However the body is shot. Some of the seems have separated and it's missing all of the stanchions, bell, handrails, headlight, etc. All of these pieces are pretty easy to replace, except for 1. One of the handrails next to the door is missing. The handrail that looks like it's part of the stamping but I guess is soldered on? Any idea where to either find one or a good way to make a new one? I was thinking about getting some wire and trying to fabricate it but I don't think it will look very good. I was also thinking about perhaps scrapping the body and finding a replacement.
Thank you,
Sam
