Re: PRR F34 flat

Dave,
Some resources:
TKM 104 - http://www.prrths.com/newprr_files/newPRRKeystoneModeler.htm this is an article by Chuck Cover kit bashing the Bachmann car, but it will show you gross brake
locations.
TKM 108 - My article on etched decks. Not much about brakes here, but if you look at the deck drawings, you can see the mounting bolts for what I believe is the AB valve.
The PRRT&HS flat car book - http://www.prrths.com/estore/index_books.html
Sadly, the shots in that book are mostly dark about the underbody.
Based on looking at the photos online (above) it looks like Chuck has his cylinder mounted too high
on the bolster and he needs to add a reservoir to the bolster.
And, of course, you need a full set of brake hardware on each end.

I'm currently building a F&C PRR F34 flat car. The instructions are very vague about the placement of brake components. If anyone has any info on the placement of the brake parts I would deeply appreciate this as I'm at a stand still
with this car. I know some of the parts are to be installed on the span bolsters but I'm not sure of their placement. Thank's
Good Day
Dave
