Model Building HO SP Consist Build 16 - How To Make Handrails Part 1
The SP Consist Build series is about Dan's efforts to recreate a set of 5 locomotives he photographed on the front of a Southern Pacific grain train in Truckee, California in 1993. There were two SP SD45Rs, a Cotton Belt B30-7, a Conrail SD40, and an EMD Leasing GP38-2.
In the last episode of the Southern Pacific consist build, Dan worked on the only General Electric locomotive in the build, Cotton Belt B30-7 7787.
Dan is modeling this locomotive as it appeared when he photographed it, in traditional scarlet and gray paint. Not long after this photo was taken, SP repainted 7787 into the 1990s era speed lettering scheme.
When Dan photographed it, SSW 7787 had been “lobotomized”, losing its oscillating lights and emergency lights. It gained a beacon, but had not yet been fitted with ditch lights.
In this episode Dan starts to build new brass handrails for the model.
Breaking with the consist build format a little, Dan will also be using some other models as examples.
Dan talks about the tools and materials needed, bending basics, and more!
Join Dan for some HO scale diesel detailing fun!
