Smokey Valley Handrails

I purchased some Smokey valley handrails to try and dress some athearn bluebox locomotives. I give up the directions are terrible and I can’t figure them out. Does anybody have any good ideas on how to apply the handrails?

i applied them to an Athearn C44-9W…i didnt have a problem, whats the exact problemyour having?

Yeah, Smokey Valley handrails can be a huge PITA. I have installed them on 8 locos over the years. I followed the directions and everything came out looking OK. The biggest thing is to clean the flash off each piece - very time consuming.

What part of the instructions are you having a hard time with?
