Can Natsu use his flames to grab things still? He used it that one time in
fighting the wind guy when he fell off the railroad tracks.

Can Natsu Dragneel still use his fire to grab things?


Presumably...yes.

These has been nothing to indicate that he lost the ability to 'grab' things
with his fire...he just hasn't done it since then. The same as how he hasn't
made use of his abilities with basic Transformation Magic since he first
learned how to do it (by turning into Lucy while tutored by Mirajane).

As for why he hasn't used it since...either the author forgot about it or, as
an in-universe perspective, he hasn't needed it. The main reason he pulled
that ability out during his fight with Erigor was because he was falling off a
bridge and needed to get back. Since then, he seems to have figured out how to
use his fire as a form of Jet Propulsion, meaning he can sort-of-fly. Not much
need to pull yourself back up onto a bridge by grabbing it with fire, when you
can just use your hands as rocket engines.
