Angle cock and air hose parts

Larry:
I have given this a lot of thought, too, and had intended (eventually) to move forward on something as well. Here are my ideas to be thrown into the mix. They should be all metal. While I love the look of the Kadee parts, they don't last, so having a metal bracket into which I can add a plastic part is no good (for me.) I also had planned to add a long round section out the "back" of the part that would be integral to the whole metal casting that the modeler could simply insert into a hole drilled into the bolster. That would strengthen the overall part and simulate a train pipe. Lastly, I had planned to offer a few different variants as not all of the mounting brackets are alike. Good luck, and if they serve my purposes, I'll buy then by the hundreds.
