Specific Item Information: A complete replacement set for the Walthers kit's platforms, railing, ladders, and other small details. All platforms feature perforated brass grilles for an airy see-through look. All handrails are scale-thickness fold-to-shape brass parts than can be glued or soldered to the platforms. Replacement vertical ladders are fine-scale thickness brass. All parts bear the same part numbers as the Walthers parts which they are intended to replace on a one-for-basis with precise fit. Use the Walthers kit instructions for correct placement. Installation of these parts will transform the refinery kit into a superb front-of-the-layout masterpiece. Modern-era modelers can substitute the Gold Medal Models No. 160-38 Safety Cage Ladders (sold separately) for the standard vertical ladders. Etched in .010" brass.
Model Information: Kits are made of photo etched brass or stainless steel.
Road Name History: Although they may be molded in color, unpainted and unlettered, undecorated products are marketed to modelers who seek to custom decorate their models for private roads and/or road and/or company names that were not commercially produced by any of the major manufacturers.
Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display. Materials for these models can vary but often include plastic, pewter and resin. Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.
