> That's good news that the Walthers ladders and platform railings are
accurate for these waycars. Are these ladders and railings a single
integrated detail part, or several parts? In response to your's and
Charlie Vlk's emails, is there a list of parts and part numbers in with
the
Walthers model? If so, what is the part(s) number(s)?
