Post subject:  Wanted : A heavyweight Pullman platform railing

Looking to purchase a heavyweight Pullman platform railing, complete with gates ( preferred ) and brass accents, for recently completed upgrade on a now Amtrak compatiable business car. Looking for "standard" open platform type railing that was common on most open platform cars.

Car is owned by a regional railroad, and is operational.

All inquiries and leads are appreciated !

If this inquiry is not successful, please remain in contact with us as I am collating our wood car database. This past weekend I entered a large variety of private car observation railings drawings, some of which may be similar to your needs, including brass capping.
Sincerely, Ted Anderson

Might be of help to you, don't know how often original sets of brass railing and gate sets come up for sale, maybe once and a blue moon. As in the past couple of years I and some fellow Heavyweight car owners have been looking for some our selves. This leads me to say that I've been in touch with a man that is reproducing the brass railings that cap what would be a standard Pullman gate set. Our group was able to find a used set of original railing to use, but more resources are always welcome is what I say. Please contact me directly (Pullmanpolo@hotmail.com) as I'll look for the information on the individual who was having all the brass cast. If anything the more of us out there that might need a set of these castings could help off set the cost of the patterns and casting cost.
