Re: (erielack) Info on DL&W NW-2 switchers

I assume these are the thin flexible plastic handrails?

A tip I saw was to try the paint for RC car bodies, the stuff that goes on
the inside of the big scale car clear bodies, for them, as it's highly
flexible.  Now if you can find the right shade of yellow...   It's probably
not cheap, but if you do a batch of units at once I'm sure one jar would
last a lifetime -
