And why even try to fix it, when it can be replaced at minimal cost with something that will never break…..?

You would do better to cut the truck mounted couplers off and body mount Kadees….should be a number of sites, YouTube, etc to show you how to do that….

I’m also not one to buy a car that’s rtr because the model building is what I enjoy the most so adding all the grabs and stirrups and brakes and what not to a freight car just gets my interest

I agree, although a RTR car can be improved….I changed the corner stirrups of this Walthers Mainline car…..cut off the too thick molded-on ones, and glued finer ones on in their place….much improved…..
