Athearn Genesis Seico boxcar grab irons

Hello folks!
I’m currently working on building an Athearn Genesis Evans Seico boxcar. This evening, while installing the grab irons, 3 of them sprang out of my tweezers, & went to parts unknown. The wonderful folks at Athearn (Horizon) didn’t include any extra ones with the kit (that would be nice of them, wouldn’t it?) & a search of parts at Horizon & Walthers went nowhere. Any ideas, I’d be grateful.

Thanks, Mitch

The grabs on these cars are incorrect anyway. Why not replace them all with the correct ones and learn a really usable scratch building skill at the same time? SInce you’re doing an undec model, you’ve probably mastered painting and decaling, take the next step and really make your car stand out.

This link is a great way to do just that.
