A simple Bowser caboose, getting real wire grab irons over the little cast in place thingies.
Waiting are some Tichy kits and Funaro kits, each of which requires eleventy-million holes for grab irons.
I can't hand-drill parallel holes to save my life, so I ordered this cheap ($37) 2-axis cross slide. It's range is 2" x 8", enough for a 50 ft HO scale boxcar. I'll let you know how it works.
