Sure! Look at the B end of the Red Caboose Mather refrigerator car. The Red Caboose version has a horizontal wheel which protrudes above the roof in the manner of the Plate A hand brakes. The one a-comin' is essentially the same hand brake with a vertical wheel. In the case of the former power is transmitted from the hand wheel by means of bevel gears while in the latter the power is transmitted by pinion and gear.
I have been asked not to reveal the manufacturer of the new hand brake. My understanding is that marketing and distribution issues are not completely resolved.
