Thanks for the info -- looking forward to more. My approach has been a little more broad-brush -- I have a LOT of boxcars and don't envision changing to wire grabs. I do replace the stirrups with A-Line and weather, though I try to get all my effects with an airbrush:
I make a weathered or unpainted roof on maybe 25% of my boxcars.
