But the boxcar has a corner grab iron. Has to be plastic.

You have a point.

You know, the more I look at the photo of that boxcar, the more it looks like laser-cut Laserboard (resin-impregnated paper product).  So maybe it is similar to what they used on that hopper.

Yes, I'm that good with the laser that I can mimic injection molded plastic .  LOL   The 96K has laser cut roof walk...we don't use it on any other car at the moment.  I hope to revisit the hoppers later this year and see if we can retro those as well.  My list is long so be patient.

Will these be available as a separate part?
The fabric of reality has begun to fray.
