Is this the first Trainman locomotive that will have grabirons applied?

This is a positive development and I can't wait to display 1 or 2 of these units in the freight yard one day. As far as I know, this will be the first Trainman diesel with the grab irons applied.

Well well well, what a surprise. The troll tries to fan the flames of "price increase". Nice work, troll.
Don't feed into it.

Grab irons installed, great! I'm sure there's a lot more good stuff to come from this. One thing at a time....

From Wikipedia: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional or disciplinary response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

It's a synonym for "Frank", i.e.:

Different Frank, but you get the idea.

It says it right there in Polar Ice's post a few words before the price is given. But a troll would ignore that and zero in on something juicy like price. Sort of like, "Oooh...they raised the price of Trainman. I can get some mileage out of that."
This is getting old. Very. Old.
