Thanks Doc. I like the P2k 50 foot auto boxcars for my mid 1950's modeling in the modular club, but don't like the way the plastic details break off just by looking at them. I also don't like the plastic brake rigging, but plan to cut off the brake pipes and replace with brass wire. I'm going to try your method of modifying the grabs, and plan to use your method in another thread for making brass ladders to replace the plastic ones in the kits.
