He reworks the handrails using Stewarts stanchions, which are too wide he admits but has no choice, and uses scale wire for the handrail, soldering the wire to the stanchions. I haven't checked into this yet to see if anyone has produced correct scale handrails for the units since the article was written. A nice model. All photos b&w.
