somewhere at home I have some injection moulded plastic HO air-hoses which come complete with separate brackets. I'm sure they are a US-made product (certainly mine came from a UK-based US HO supplier!), I'll check tonight and report back. I've used them on a number of my freight cars, especially to replace the Branchlines kit brackets/hoses which I find too flimsy for layout use. For the hoses themselves, I makes me own, using single-core bell-wire, stripped of the insulation, crimping one end to give the knuckle and bending/cutting to shape. The tap is from a small length of microstrip superglued to the top section. I've gathered a range of wire diameters over the years and make up batches of 50 or so at one go - doesn't take long, is very cheap and they are very robust!

I really wish someone with make a nice after-market part for these (The RR-30 is different than the norm anyway due to the Duryea underframe). Lots of mfg's make the hoses but no one to my knowledge makes the bracket also. I have fabricated some from Styrene also per Ted C's articles. Branchline's are nice in their boxcar kits but a little fragile. If there are aftermarket parts out there I would love to know. OK, I am off my soapbox. Brian J Carlson P.E.
