The grab irons / handrails on the old Proto 2K locos was rather substantard as it turns out. that flexible plastic material was just toooo flexible. I noe see that their newer engines have changed materials for these grab irons, and BLI has a better material also.
I realize that one can replace these by bending up their own wire sets, but I have quite a number of these Proto 2000 locos, and that equates to a LOT of bending, shaping, drilling, etc. And there are a LOT of these older locos out there in the public's hands.
So my question is, are there any replacement grab iron kits for these locos on the market?? Sure seems like a viable aftermarket product??...just for the sheer number of E-units they sold
