Suggestion: Part 37494 Train Pantograph Shoe has no hinge component and is widely used for other purposes outside of a train, and without a hinge around. It is just bar connections all around. This part should be listed either under Bar or otherwise under Train in the catalog (since its original purpose may have been for electric trains). Meanwhile, the old part 2881/2922 did have a hinge component and can be left alone under hinge. If part 37494 moves to train in the inventory, however, I'd argue 2881/2922 should join it there despite having a hinge component.

[...] (Part 37494) I totally agree with you. I believe this part definitely needs to move. Because it has no hinge, it should have never ended up in the hinge category. Since [...] (15 months ago, Mar 12, 2023, to Catalog Requests)
