I have a situation where Bachmann cant help me nor do I want to spend thcash for a small part through bachmann. See I have a Spectrum Dash 8-40CW that needs a cab hand rail that goes down the stairs. I had it but somewhere between my bedroom (workshop till the benches get cleaned downstairs) and the basement (layout facility) I lost it. I saw Smokey Valley makes a handrail kit for this locomotive and I am curious if anyone knows if it includes these handrails or not.
Yes, but it’s in kit form-- They include lengths of brass wire pre-bent in the general contours of the handrail, but you have to put in the final bends to fit. For the handrail segments with stanchions, you will also have to solder the stanchion to the wire for a strong bond.
Those can look REALLY good if you know what you are doing.
Maybe I should just go out and buy some right diameter wire, cut to length and bend it probably be cheaper.
Maybe you should just post for the part, of all the people on the forum someone may have one they don’t need or see one for a dime at a local train show and send it to you.
Spectrum dash8 wide cab front hand rail for the step i am hoping this shows it better in the circle.
Just that one little piece? Yea don’t bother with buying the whole handrail kit. Grab some .020"-diameter wire (brass or steel, doesn’t matter), a good pair of fine needle-nose pliers, and bend it yourself.
Probably takes 10 minutes to do. 
(just a note… .015"-diameter wire is the closest to scale, but since the plastic handrails look a bit oversize I think .020" will probably look better alongside the stock stuff.)
I agree with LongIslandTom if all you want is to replace a bit of handrail; however, the Smokey Valley handrail sets are a great detail. Much finer than the plastic ones that come with any locomotive. A couple of suggestions:
The stanchions are cast in bronze in a plaster mold; some plaster sticks to the metal and fills the detail. I use a wire brush on low speed in my Dremel tool. This removes the plaster and polishes the metal for painting. Keep the Dremel on speed step 1 or 2, the wire brushes are not meant for the higher speeds and the wire bristles will fly off. Wear eye protection just in case.
The instructions say to use Super Glue or other CA cement to attach the handrail to the stanchions. This would work for a display model, but I discovered when I handled the locomotive I usually broke the glue bond. I finally soldered all the railings to the stanchions and have not has a problem since. On a finished or painted model, the key is to lay the model on its side with a wet paper towel between the stanchion and the plastic. That way any excess heat or solder drips won’t get to the plastic. Excess heat can travel down the stanchion and soften or melt the plastic on the walkway, so be careful of that!
The rails are much heavier than than scale or other makes. Don’t forget that a couple coats of paint will make it heavier. Lay .015 and .019 wire up to it to determine which is the closest in size.
