Doesn't someone make N etched eyelets / lift rings in SS?

[bbussey]

I need a memory jog ... I know I used etched stainless steel N scale eyelets / lift rings when I scratchbuilt my RBB&B popcorn wagon, but I can't remember who made them.  If anyone knows and would enlighten me, I would be appreciative.

Those are good to be aware of.  But the ones I'm thinking of had narrow stems the same thickness as the eyelet loops.

Gold Medal Models did some, on their diesel setting set. I think BMLA did some as well.

They both did sets in SS. The GMM were easier to work with as the "stick" was a standard #80 bit size and the BLMA was smaller and required special drill bits to sit correctly.

Yes, GMM and BLMA; both no longer available.

The BLMA item is what I’m thinking of probably.

I found some on eBay. BLMA #90. Thanks everyone.

@bbussey what are the odds of esm doing bulk packs of basically the blma offering?  those things are danged useful for more than just lift rings.

Don't worry ... no doubt atlas will rerun them soon

Not likely because it is an active Atlas product.

Gold metal makes a set with the detail kit. As of last night Richie has a pack left on the shelf at the shop if you want them locally.

Unfortunately they are not listed on the Atlas website anymore (BLMA90). They have a lot of other parts on pre-order, and had a sale/callout for pre-orders towards the end of last year. Hoping that comes to fruition as I could use E/F Ultimate Detail set.

I found those brass Sunrise one's impossible to work with. They were insanely tiny and fragile! By the time I managed to get one installed, it was mangled beyond recognition.
