But first impression at the start of the video is that the handrails look to be true to scale size, but they are very crooked and wavy which really detracts from the look of the model. Is there any option to get metal handrails that are scale size buy aren't so distorted or flimsy looking?

Hey, ScaleTrains, I'll tell ya a little bit of a sad story: When I first discovered model trains, the majority of the ones I wanted that were actually running near my hometown were sold out and too expensive. Like the NS Dash9-40CW for example. By the time I found out you guys made an ho one, it was sold out. This didn't just go for engines, but for all the liveries I wanted and all the train cars and shipping containers I wanted too. They'd either be $300 (extremely expensive for us) or sold out. No matter what scale. Even the heritage units like (if you guys did, it's gone already) the 8104 Lehigh Valley heritage unit. Too expensive or sold out. And the train sets I'm seeing don't have enough of today's rolling stock and/or ANY ge locos, they'd all have the rare emd GP15-1 Engine's, instead of like a GE ES44AC. As for this, can you make some intermodal train sets that include like 6 of the Articulated and single wellcars, plus the appropriate domestic container customers (like NS has JB Hunt, EMP, Hub Group, and Swift) and release a series called "Intermodal Plays Again!" And include the appropriate engines? Like for example the NS one would be NS GE ES44AC 8136, NS SD60E 6965, NS Dash9-40CW 9899, TTX 53' wellcars, JB Hunt, EMP, Hub Group, Schneider, Swift, Amazon, APL, KLLM, and Matson. Can you make intermodal triple engine Domestic Container train sets that are like only $100? And sell on Amazon?
