Well, other than taking more stuff up there. Hopefully there are pics attached of the handrail finally in place. The piece to the right of the first pic is the gate (shown closed) that will allow big stuff to go up there. I'm back and forth on installing a crane rail or maybe a gantry crane so I can put big, heavy stuff up there but maybe I should just leave extra engines and so on on the floor.
The shots where the stairway handrail meets the upper rail show the hardest part to figure out. It had to rise, bend, and turn - easy with pipe cleaners, not so easy with stiff piping (the handrail is 0.120 wall). But by using parts cut from sections I didn't need I was able to splice the whole deal together.
I have some handrail left - anyone need some? Otherwise it's off to the scrap guy.
