Replacement handrail knobs for NQ/LGB 2-6-2 loco

You obviously have not dealt with a Solicitor lately!
They still use them.. And treasury tags (green plaited thread with a metal bar each end).. And eyelets (to bind Wills)..

Lots of different colours and the metal is now plastic

Lawyers are bottom of the heap, close to traffic wardens and insurance companies - I try to avoid them all as much as possible.

In a past life when working as a QS/cost consultant, I was a regular purchaser of treasury tags

bif........

isn't there a name for one of those brass things that nobody uses anymore? Probably because only the government uses paper these days

Yes - Bifurcated Paper Fasteners Brass plated so need to be kept dry (as you would with paper) or you'll get rust stains on your documents.

Evening,
I have been slowly up dating my NQ 2-6-2 to HSB 21 in green, having removed the molded handrails I need some replacements, I did get some knobs from GRS but they are a bit on the big side, now thinking of some brass gauge 1 or maybe o gauge ones,
What has anybody else used?
many thanks Pete

I use what we call cotter pins, believe you call them split pins, and the crush sleeve from a pop rivet, Bill
