So, I've been thinking, as I'm wandering rolling stock, what type of rolling stock details are missing? Here's the start of my HO scale list: - High capacity Dreadnaught boxcar ends - Corrugated boxcar ends - 60' X panel roof - sine-wave boxcar ends - 125T plastic trucks with 38" wheels (Code 110 & Code 88) Several of these products are available, just not separately. I'd hate to cut of a Athearn/Roundhouse FMC boxcar to the the corrugated ends.

I would like to see all of the various ladders and grabs

used on freight cars made of brass.  In particular the older style bracket grabs like found on P2k 50 foot auto box cars made of brass.  I get tired of spending a lot of time building up a nice craftsman kit, and then get to a train show and find my detail parts broken off and laying in the bottom of my boxes.  I have been so frustrated by it that I will simply not buy any freight car of any sort with plastic grabs at any price, unless the model uses wire grabs that I can buy to replace the plastic ones.

Yep....

Josh, part #108 from the page you linked to; I guess it's called "Boxcar Body Parts".
