Although they may not open all the way, Kadee, Branchline, Front Range
Products and others have found ways to have opening doors without
"claws".

Well yea, but... If it offends you, you might try to reform that
area or maybe just invest in a CNC rig and do it right. <g>
Seriously, you are correct but it's probably a case of diminishing
returns. Casting 2 sided in resin must be tough and I wonder how thick
it is (I've got to pull out my Sunshine MILW rib side and check).
Injection molded would be preferred (?) but then I wonder what we'd
get for a method to make them work - Athearn "claws" maybe?

Isn't there a slight problem with Menzies (and Youngstown doors onbrass box cars) i.e. you shouldn't see the shapes of the tackboards
and door rollers etc. from the inside?
