Hey folks,

Who makes grab irons for the Cannon Company kits like this one.

They dont come in the kits so I am trying to find a source for them. I have found several but was looking for the right size so I dont have to buy 10 different packs hopeing to get the right ones.

Also what is the square grid thing beside the electric cabinet air filter behind the first statcion in the picture below? They seem to be on NS SD40-2 units more then other railroads.

Detail Associates #2202 grab irons are appropriate for your particular locomotive.

You can also bend your own out of .012" brass wire if you want to save a few pennies.

Hope this helps!

Tichy also has the right grags and you get twice as many for the same money.

I believe that is a spare knuckle basket for on the road repairs to the couplers.
