Where is the best place to source Alco 430 and 630 handrails?

Unfortunately, it is difficult to find new handrailing kits from Tyco - getting more difficult by the day - so your best bet is to either find an old locomotive off of Ebay with installed handrails, or try train shows/stores for the same thing.

I believe A Line still makes the stantions. And get some K&S music wire for the railings.

Stanchions. It's a nightmare process to make them.

Tyco handrails do come up. Some were up in ebay today when I got up for work, but I snatched them up for two pieces of equipment I have. More will always come up though. I've seen many up on the site.

Thanks for all your responses.
Have thought about making my own handrails, choosing the right wire is key.
Living in Australia, purchasing Tyco locos from the US can get expensive. postage can be twice the cost of the loco.

I have a set of the tyco handrails and stanchions. I could give you measurements of the wire or anything else you need.

Biddings up to $15 already. Mr. Deep Pockets needs the handrails.

What I never see are Tyco Australian pieces. Are the rare down under?

Just scored a set of 430 and 630 handrails from Mr Banks on ebay.
Bidding was fierce!
US$123 inclusive of postage to Australia!
The market and demand will predict the price.

Great! They're on Ebay a lot! Not hard to find but can be a bit pricey!
