Athearn GP50 owners....I need a part number please!

[wongsing]

Does anyone have the part number for the PLASTIC handrails for an Athearn GP50? I have already tried to contact Athearn about a replacement set, but they need the part number. I used to have it somewhere but I must've lost it. Any help could be GREATLY appreciated!

This place looks like it has everything for Athearn

Right at http://www.1stplacehobbies.com/cgi-bin/prod.asp?pn=140-46027 for just $4.20. Way cheaper than Athearn would charge you. Thanks for posting this, Willis, I never knew 1st Place had such an extensive inventory of Athearn parts. I need some for my old BB SW-7 and now I know where to get them without wading through the Athearn maze.

Jim,
That ain't the plastic set,it's the old metal one.

I just checked 1st Place and Horizons for them while I was chasing other Athearn parts and could not find any listing on either site for a set of PLASTIC GP50 railings.

I did find the SD70 ditchlite setup for under a fiver though.

Whoops, you're right, Johnathan, didn't notice that. However, how about http://www.1stplacehobbies.com/cgi-bin/prod.asp?pn=140-46106? I think the GP38-2 and the GP-50 use the same handrail set. Looks like they're out of stock right now though.

Man, those things are hard to find! I wrote Athearn and they said to just give them the stock number on the box so I could get a replacement. I don't know how much the total will be or if or when they will even send them. Hopefully someone will write me back...

They may have more listed but this was the first GP50 plastic set I found.
