BNSF SD70MAC's
I need to get Grab Irons for my BNSF GP38-2 (RTR Unit) and SP SD70M (Genesis Unit). Are they the same size grab irons? There both missing the grabs on the front and rear and i would like to replace them with metal ones and paint them to match but i havent the slightest idea where to get them or how to go about this. Im used to them coming with the loco and applying them on the KATO's lol

Both locos have the wholes pre-drilled so all i would have to do it slip them in place. I would prefer to buy them already bent and ready to install.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance
 
Cal Scale, (Bowser) has a Grab Iron detail set made for the GP38-2 that even includes coupler lift bars and top grabs.
 


Thanks Josh and River

I placed another small order with a hobby shop on e-bay and got some grab irons. I got a pack of 20 drop grabs from BLMA, a BLMA Grab Iron Drill Template, a set Grab Irons for a SD70/SD75 Athearn loco (see if i cant use them on the SD70M, and a Atlas Code 82 30 Degree Crossing lol $26.00 shipped :D

Ill have to check out that Bowser set. I could certainly use it :D
