Hey all, picked up a real nice Burlington GP20 in great shape, but came with no handrails. Anyone out there have a spare set?

Try Smokey Valley. They sell hand rails. Not like Tyco. Plastic stanchions and metal railing. More prototypical look I reckon.

Much as I love the SV stuff, I'd like an actual set of Tyco/Mantua ones. And unlike Ben, I'm willing to pay real money.

Unfortunately, even when you have real money the Tyco originals can be hard to find. There's some on ebay every once in a while, or you might find a shell that still has handrails. But I don't know of a reliable source.

Graftonterminal was on this site just prior to Christmas and didn't respond here or to my PM. So I've decided to put them on Ebay. $8.00 starting bid with a $21.00 Buy it now , Free shipping in the USA. If anyone on this forum wants them for $20 let me know by tomorrow (29th) before noon. I have a set of TYCO GP-20 handrails still in the sealed package that I am willing to sell. I checked Ebay and they go for $20.00 and up. I'd like $20 for them.
Here are some examples of completed auctions.
First refusal goes to graftonterminalrr, since he originally asked for some.

Old thread, but I found a bunch of Tyco GP20 handrails - specifically, a bunch of long-hood handrails, no stanchions, just the handrails - and since I don't plan on owning any GP20s, if anyone has any use for them, pm me.
