Sinclair antenna stand what manufacturer ?

Who is the manufacturer of the antenna stand on the SP model ? Not the little ones on the cab, it's the big one on the long hood.

Yes, funny that, it's a BLMA picture but it seems the one I am after is not a BLMA part, or is it ? Thanks.

Craig has a fret of four different stands. I think that pic must be showing three of them, with the one in question a modification of the biggest one, I think.

The brass antenna stand pictured above the inertial air filter hatch was produced by Sunrise Enterprises.  At the time, I didn't want to include that part in our #92 fret, out of respect to Dan and his product line. 

At this point, it's something we can probably add to our line, considering Sunrise is long gone.

Yes please Craig!
Any chance you'd do other details like SP nose light brackets (lights removed), ditch lights (with the ability to install a SMLED) and others?
More horns too!

And hooks instead of rings on the EMD cut lever ?

+1

I prefer the hook style as well, but I know there are others that prefer the rings.  Just a matter of preference, but I definitely like the easier solution (hooks). 

Cheers,

I will say Miniature By Eric's SP headlight sets are really nice.  Not sure we need two guys producing them.

The +1 was in regards to the antenna plate made by sunrise on the SP SD unit.  Not headlights nor brackets were mentioned.  I spoke to Craig at the NMRA convention in Sacramento, CA.  Great guy, very polite when talking to someone who looks like Lurch going on about SP detail parts. I know making detail parts in n scale is a money losing proposition.  I use Eric's stuff as well as the DA all good but I wish there was a light cluster available like Detail West & DA HO stuff or even NSN N scale headlight casting. It is a first world problem for sure.
