Then again, a Weaver engine - I'd just replace all of the handrails with brass parts from P&D Hobby and get away from the Delrin by using nicer parts from the the start.
When I was searching for detail parts I noticed that Des Plaines Hobbies stocks handrails specifically made for Weaver GP38s, $34.95 a piece X four engines = $139.80!!! Money I'd rather spend on N scale stuff considering that I plan on getting away from O scale later in life. How does the P&D Hobby product go in terms of price? But in any case, thanks for the product number, I'll do a search for that.
No one said to do all 4 engines at once; don't go and cheap out on stuff - do it right. One the 1st things I did when I got my 1st Weaver RS3 was to replace the handrails and all of the other flimsy parts - stuff you handle inadvertently slowly gets damaged over time. Having it more robust insures a long time better quality model for your enjoyment.
Then again, if you are just going to go to N later, maybe you should just sell off the O now and move on...
And, you etter start saving for that N scale stuff now. It's surprisingly pricy stuff and just because the size shrinks, the price tag doesn't,
