Good afternoon,
I am searching for a handrail kit for a Tyco Alco C630 locomotive, and was wondering if anyone has one they would like to trade OR sell?? If so, please contact me. :)

He's on the move, again! Didn't someone write an article about
using some kind of wire? The stanchions would be a pain.

| Music wire is what I use. The trick is to buy busted up Tyco GP 20's, C 430's, and C 630's at every antique store and train show, as long as they have complete or partial handrail sets on them. The stanchions are all the same, the end railings are identical on the Century's and maybe the GP20. The short side rails will interchange on the Century's as well, and if necessary it is not difficult to make the long railings. Ive done it several times.

You'll be getting a Tyco GP 20 in that bunch you traded for,
RP. It has complete side rails both sides.

Hmmm...thanks for the advice both Chops and time warp! I know, I did see that one of the GP-20's did have a full set of handrails on it, Chops, but I was hoping to preserve that! 
If anyone has the original handrail set for a C630, I would go to the pains of installing it.

Just to inform you all:
I have obtained a complete metal handrail set for a Tyco C630, from Ebay! The seller had it listed amongst a lot of other Tyco handrails, and luckily, they were kind enough to separate the C630 railing set and place it in a buy-it-now listing, so I could just obtain that set. So, the handrails are on their way!
But, if anyone has a set, I still need 1 and would like to trade for it.

Really!?!?! AWESOME, GG-1 Guy! Well, in regards to trading, that includes what is still available from my posts on the TF Trading Post.
What are you looking to trade for those sets?
