Dave, Your query is kind of a coincidence since I'm looking for brake gear diagrams and/or photos also, albeit for a different car type. I've got a request into the Museum of Transportation

Thanks everybody! I have some paint on order to try these out. Scott McDonald

I'm assembling a late 19-teens/early 1920s-vintage USRA-design twin-bay hopper with split-K brake gear. The prototype photos I've found are only views of the ends, sides and inside of these cars.

Tony, I am actually working on a 3D printed model of that car (90350 to 91849). It's 95% there. I just have to work out reliable fitting of the body and floor. This is printed as two parts,

I’m looking for drawings (primarily underframe general arrangement or brake arrangement) of the CB&Q’s GM-1 & 2 class 52’ 6” composite mill gons that were built in the late 1920s and retired
