Model Railroading > painting caboose hand rails/grabs - suggestions?Date: 08/11/19 15:48 painting caboose hand rails/grabs - suggestions? Author: tomd Just about finished the Kasgro, KRL 079 caboose.
Need suggestion on holding the grab iron & hand rails. I did the artwork for the custom decals and Bill at PDC.ca printed them for me.

Author: boejoe I used to press my separate hand rails into a piece of balsa wood to act as an anchor. I would then prime and paint twice by hand to get desired results.
Will look good behind a Schnable or even a heavy duty depressed center flat car. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/11/19 16:51 by boejoe.

I have also painted wthat wil be KRL 075 a couple cab, and four more private owner cabooses to paint and decal. One of those will be the GEGX cab that will accompany the GE gas turbine depressed flat.

I install thehandrails and then slip a scrap of paper under the handrail, over the body and using a fine paint bruch, paint them. try it!
This only works if they are seperate pieces. Date: 08/11/19 19:33 Re: painting caboose hand rails/grabs - suggestions? Author: grahamline Sometimes a fine tip micro-brush, the plastic sticks with the foam tip, works better for this, Less paint on the brush and no long ends or stray bristles to stick out.
