Re: AM Boxcar Stirrup Steps

Jace,?

I followed a Troxell work around by using simple staples re-bent into the correct shape.? We drilled new mounting holes near the edge the old broken one and fresh flooring--a bit trickey but with super glue they are very sturdy.? Very cheap too!
Or you could have my friend Rusty the Brassbasher cast you a mess of them.? I understand he made replacements for the PRS reefers and I know he made excellent long drop step additions to the AM baggage/RPO cars despite being designed for the Southwind cars!?

For me, these have always been the Achilles heel of the kit (I've never owned any of their more recent ready-to-run cars, so I don't know?
whether it was ever corrected).? They are fragile and thinnest where they most need strength.??
Has anyone come up with a solution or a replacement?? Is there enough interest for Jim King to develop resin printed replacements, as he did for the PRS refrigerator cars?
