I’ve bought two different versions of “Straight Ladder Grab Irons” from Ozark Miniatures and neither of them is what I need. One’s the wrong size, and the other is a completely different design. Is there anyplace else where I can get G scale (1/24-1.20) straight grab irons?
Yeah, I could make my own but without the NBW detail, they just look like big staples.
“Trackside Details” sells them in brass but I dont have a contact for them, if I remember they are similar to Ozarks.
Ray:
I use the brass ‘wire’ grab irons and bolt head ‘pins’ that are manufactured and sold by Phil’s Narrow Gauge. Much stronger than castings and good 1:20 size.

Thanks, I think I’ll go with the grabs from PNG. They look good, and the price is reasonable.
Ray, you can see some Trackside Details castings here

Precision Scale Co. also makes brass 1:24 castings but I
lost their catalogue so I cannot verify if they have grab irons.

Of course Hartford makes white metal 15mm castings you
can see them on their website http://www.hartfordpr.com/
