AB brake component location on the SP A-50-4
Thank you Tim, that's actually very helpful (or at least provides me a source of plausible deniability). I would suspect that you are correct and the configuration would be very similar to the A-50-6.

Thanks, yours look great as well. These were two of the cars I finished for my MMR. They are scratch built. I did two with the same number, one loaded, one empty. Each car has about 500 parts and 1300

Lots of A-50-6 box cars got AB brakes, and they were mounted in a conventional way as you can see in this photo. The A-50-6's were rebuilt for "hog fuel" (wood chips) and lost their roofs. If any A-50
