I have a few Athearn BB boxcars and flatcars from when I was younger, and sometimes I was able to keep them free of damage, and then others, the stirrups are missing, having been broken off. These are the 50' Railbox type, as well as 40' and 50' flats. Is there a company out there that makes stirrups I could replace the broken ones with? I haven't been able to find any detailing parts out there other than for locomotives.

Thanks.
 
A-Line; Tichy; Detail Associates. Look at Walthers on-line catalog. There's lots of stuff not in the paper one.
 
Shoot, get you some thin wire and a pin vise to drill the holes, and bend your own. It will come out cheaper in the long run and give you greater satisfaction. ;)
