Detailed Blue Box Boxcar?

[FCIN]

Isn't there a nice flexy plastic that they could do fine parts in? 30-some years ago, when I was in N, Kadee/MicroTrains had beautiful little stirrup steps for their cars, better than anything in HO at the time. So can't we get grab irons that will bend and not break?

Stirrup steps molded from Delrin or Celcon are available for HO cars from Tichy Train Group. Brass stirrup steps and grab irons are both available from Tichy Train Group and from A-Line and have been for many years. I'm looking into replacing the oversize stirrup steps on a lot of my older cars at some point in the future and if I get really bored, replacing grab irons too. But that's one of those very time consuming projects.

Might as well go with brass grab irons instead of ones molded from Delrin or Celcon as both would have to be secured with CA.
