Need help with Weaver RS3 hand rail sets. Cheers Jim
Replies sorted oldest to newest
Is this the early RS3 version with Solid pilots and plastic handrails
or the later Metal version with the separated pilots?
Do you have a pic and what is your question? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Yes PRR the solid pilots with plastic handrails. I need the handrails. Cheers Jim
P&D hobbies sells brass handrail stantion sets and you get what ever gauge wire to make the hand rails. It is a little bit of work and requires painting but will be much sturdier.
Jim I ordered a set from P&D, thanks for the heads up I'll let you know how I like them. Cheers Jim
Jim,
I recently finished putting the brass stanchions on a Weaver RS3:
I had to drill out the existing holes so they would accept the brass pegs so be careful. You may want to shave them a bit with a file or dremel first. You could also cut down the peg length and drill shallow holes, I had a couple almost come thru the side sill.
