Model Railroading > Baldwin Diesel MU SetupDate: 07/24/16 10:50 Baldwin Diesel MU Setup Author: Lurch Does anyone know if there is a HO manufacturer that makes end railings for baldwin switchers and road switchers with the pneumatic MU hoses? I've copied this photo from Google for an example of what I'm looking for. I was thinking about scratch building the MU platform, but if there is something off the shelf it would save some effort.

Bowser produced the "SP-style" configuration with the double drop steps, on a recent run of scarlet and gray SP S-12s.
