I found a Walthers P2K Drop End Mill Gondola kit at the shop today for $10 and decided to give it a try.  Come to find out that it's missing the grab irons.  I've never done any of the more detailed kits like this, and ironically this would have been my first attempt at installing grab irons.

Can they be found pre-bent somewhere, or do I need to learn how to do it myself sooner than I wanted to?

Fellow MRH Readers,

I make all my turnouts using Fasttracks turnout jigs. Instead of gluing the ties to the bottom of the rails however as FastTracks suggests, I glue my turnout ties to a sheet of paper. That lets me place my ties on the cork roadbed, then locate the completed switch over the ties, which is held down then with Walthers code 83 spikes through the ties. This system works great. The turnouts are somewhat free floating, and removable if I need to replace or repair them later on. 

I have a proto 2000 SD60M, I installed a digitrax board replacement and a sound bug FX decoder. the decoder works the sound works. I did not change the light bulbs out but i did add a 680 1/4 watt resistor in on the blue wire but the lights don't work what did i miss.

Am looking for ideas to store freight cars off layout.

I'm planing on having a rolling cabinet with drawers or shelves for storing the cars.  Any ideas some of you have

used, either laying flat or standing upright ?
