Steam loco cab window bars

[Guest Jack Benson]

Is anyone aware of an 4mm etch being available for upgrading cab windows by installing the vertical bars that protect the glass? Just about discernible in this view.

 

Thank yoiu

Hi Jack,

I think that there are too many variation to size and shape of the windows that there will be a standard fret for them. You might be able to get them for specific engines in detailing kits. I use very fine brass wire for hand rails when I put them on.

If it's for a J94/Austerity 0-6-0ST then RT Models do them.

Even in 7mm wire is the way to go. One day I will get round to making a jig for drilling the holes.
