Athearn SD75M
Posted by Mrchickenstrips on Thursday, March 21, 2024 10:08 PM

Good evening all, I recently got an Athearn Genesis SD75M, one of the original "kit" types from the early 2000s. However I LOST THE GRAB IRONS! Is there anyway to get a replacement. Maybe something pre colored for ATSF yellow? I'd prefer something that I don't have to paint. Thanks in advance.

I understand your frustration. Your best bet is probably Ebay, but don't expect a good deal. Some folks make their own with wire:

I bought a Walthers grab iron set for an SD60M we'll see how it goes and I'll post results to this thread.
