[46235]

I am currently trying to build some of these for the West Midland N Gauge Groups 'Waterstock' layout which is to be exhibited at the 40th anniversary exhibition in Kettering in September.
I have assembled the basic signals with no problems but I have now come to the railings on the bracket signal platforms.
The kits contain 2 filaments. The thicker brown filament needs the end expanding near to a candle flame and then cutting to a length of 7mm. I have managed to do this. The second filament is a pale green and is used for the actual handrails. Now the problem.
I cannot get the brown filaments to stick to the painted brass platforms satisfactorily. The green filament seems very reluctant to stick to the brown filament and if it does as soon as I try to bend it round the top of the ladder it either parts from the brown filament, rips the brown filament of the platform or both.
Anyone got any ideas?
