BLMA grab irons

Are we going to see the 18" drop grab irons again anytime soon?  Lots of projects on hold....

You can always bend your own, or substitute the Train-Worx ones in. They are a little narrower (I should measure their real width), but they look so much nicer than the BLMA grabs.

I have a couple projects on hold because lack of airhorns. I might just start casting my own because this delay is too long.

Haven't seen the Train-Worx grab irons before.  Those are etched correct?  Is there bending involved?

Atlas has the 20 packs of BLMA 18" drop grabs in-stock per the online store.

Yes, there is bending, but it requires no specials tools or skills. The added benefit of these is that they have a built in depth stop. I find them easier to work with than the BLMA grabs.

I put off trying them and I am regretting that now. These are my go to grab irons now.

I think it is still pretty unknown that Atlas does have a pretty decent catalog of BLMA parts and accessories.

I didn't fail to see it, I was just answering a question that was asked.
