Etched brass door latches?

[jbaakko]

I could swear someone made etched door latches. I checked the notable sources, (Railflyer & Plano) to no avail. Does anyone know if there actually were/are etched door latches? I need to add a door to a ton of BNSF Dash 9's and was going to improvise with an etched EMD latch that I could SWEAR was available. Now I think I dreamed it. If now one can fine anything, I might have to test out my etcher with making some.

Looks like they are made by Precision and Wathers has them at http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?manu=PRECISION&start=1500

Ahhh, that might be them, though I swear I saw a picture. Come to think of it, there were etched door hinges too, that I'll need also.

I'm going to try the Precision ones anyways.

EDIT Precision:

585-4899 Hinges-Nonworking -- Photo-Etched

Josh,

We now have DP 6653 in stock which are EMD/GMDD Knuckle Busters. They are injection molded so this might help you out.

You're thinking about the one's from Sunrise Enterprises.

Unfortunately, they are no longer available...

Oh man, thats the part. Dangit, I wonder if Dan will be re-releasing them? That would be one heck great deal, wonder if I can make some with my Etcher?
