One of my `S'-scale marine projects is a Lindberg PT-boat that I am converting into the party boat/cabin cruiser named the `Phoenix', which itself was created by modifying a surplus PT-boat, specifically, one that had not been deployed overseas. One of the modifications made to this boat to "civilianize" it was the addition of a handrail around the edge of the deck. I remember helping my father and Bill Daiker install brass handrail stations on his RS-3, and think that these handrail stations would work perfectly on my model. There stations included a post with a cylindrical hole through which brass wire would be threaded. I remember Bill telling me that the difference between the Alco and GE handrail stations were that the GE type handrail stations were made from a single piece of flat metal, that was bent into a loop at the top whereas the Alco type is a post with an cylinder on the top. If any of you know where I could find this type of handrail station, please tell me. BTW; I can't remember if these were actually `S'-scale parts or if Bill and my father were borrowing from HO..
