My sincere apologies.   My interface for these forums is on my phone.....thats what I know.   If you would prefer, I can stop posting camera pics of my computer monitor.   My computer is not on the internet.

No problem David. As I  stated I was simply curious. It's all good.

Holy cow. It looks awesome and it’s really impressive how quickly you developed it.

Wow, that's pretty hot.

Are you planning to ship to the US in the near future?

I added a note on the webpage about international shipping.

That's actually pretty useful, David, N scale parts can be difficult to obtain at times.

I'll be getting the SD40 handrail jig when I order the shells, something I wish I had had when I first attempted the Briggs M-420... bending those broke me.

I’m with you! My Briggs M420s have been stalled at handrails for years!  This is such a useful tool.

I finished bending one of the sides, down the stairwell and all, and was kinda proud with how it came out. It was actually the soldering part, or more precisely the potential energy stored in the wire that released a stanchion into deep space, that caused me to take a break... that was around 10 year ago

I have bent handrails for two A and two B units. Haven't got to solder yet. I used Phosphor Bronze for the handrails. I havn’t. For the B units it was so hard to get perfect bends and have them for at both ends as the handrail is continuous. At least on the A unit you can trim the length. I considered just buying the frets from his second run but I promised I’d never buy anything from him again. And now I can’t anyway. Maybe my pride got in the way of me finishing this model well. Oh well. I’ll get to them.

I fear that should I finish one the next day Rapido will announce the N scale version

Ahhh yes it will for sure! It happened with my GMD1. Coincidentally the first loco I ever did handrails on!
