Thanks for the JE tip. For me, what lets the source item down (be it any of the three providers) is the fact that the foot of the stanchions at either end are the scale equivalent of 3in plate, and never seem to sit flush on the chassis. I've done some mods with bits of scrap etch to try and ameliorate this. Anfd then there's the Bradwell etched brass additions, as well. Of course, you'll be aware of the myriad variations in handrail configuration... I think Chris Pendelton covered it in MRJ.

checked all of mine and they have variable gaps - I take it this is an injection moulding problem. However I seem to have got flat by drawing it together and then using butanol to stick it...

Hi Barry,

Aye. I figured it was down to the mould process. I see 37227 has some Bradwell bits in Classifieds. I only have a couple of hoppers, so the joblot is a bit OTT for me . Keep on keeping on.
