Hello,
@Wayne
So you created your own grabbing-safe cars.

Next were these tiny reinforcement angles. In the course of my exploratory researches i found photos showing some of these CPR cars have them wile other have them not. So i decided one of my kits will will get them mounted and the other not.

First attempt to glue them. Not just right in angle

Drill and tap for the truck mounts.

Mounting grab irons.

Shortening and mountig grab irons onto the end walls. The grab irons were mostly made out of steelwire.

And for grabbing safety i fall back to A-Line steps. Not 100%meticulous, but grabbing-safe.
