Does anyone have any idea where I can find replacement railings for some of my Tyco engines. Thanks Mark

Mark,
Welcome aboard....
Which ones? Steam or diesel? Steam, you can make your own, and some of us make our own for diesels. ONCE in awhile you'll see them on Ebay, or a member here may have them, but they are no longer made and getting to the point no longer sold! I don't even think, there is a company that makes them as a detail part either.....
Best I can do is offer to make them for you, or someone else can but to "buy" them factory parts, be a very long shot to find the hobby shop to have them, any more!
~John
Many have tried to, and failed, ya just can't repair stupid... 
Do NOT try to Idiot-Proof anything!!!! God, will simply create a better......IDIOT!

I heard of members using Athearn stanchions and custom bend brass rod or wire for the main railings.
" Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

Bowser has some GP20 handrails on their website, under discontinued items.
I saw them about a year ago. I've heard that their shipping and handling costs are very high, even for small items.
For the TYCO SD24: Smokey Valley makes a handrail set that will work. It's about $20.00~
Speaking of Bowser, now that they produce an ALCO C430, you might be able to order handrails for that loco.
I prefer to use Precision Scale stanchions and bend my own handrails.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.
