    I didn't see them on the GMM website. Email sent to them though.

    In my response to Tom, I said take a look at the GMM grab irons.

    I didn't say GMM caboose grabs.

    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    GMM doesn't make Caboose grabs - (got an email reply) But they do make End rails for Model Power Bay window cabeese # #160-18. Those ought to fit the ConCor I have.

    I use .010 brass rod and turn them on a small screw driver. I turn one end and place in a #79 drill hole to get where to cut the other end. using nail clippers, I cut the other end and the turn the end to fit the hole. Grabs are different size on most cabooses, so one size does not fit all. With practice, it becomes pretty straight forward........ IMG_2509.JPG

    IMG_0768.JPG I use BLMA #93, curved grabs for rear EMD fan. They come in packages of 3 grabs, so get 2 packages and you'll be able to lose 2!
