I am thinking about buying an HO scale Athearn 'Ready To Roll' locomotive for a repaint/re-detail project, but would need to remove the handrails intact and re-apply them after completing repainting.
Have any of you tried this before? I don't have any previous experience working with the RTR locos, so am not sure if the handrails are glued in. I attempted this once with a Walthers Trainline loco, and no matter how careful and slowly I went, the handrails were just too fragile and broke.
