Question on Sunshine B&O boxcar with "mansard" roof
|
asychis@...
Hi, has anyone built this model? If so, it seems to me that the photo in the
instructions showing the brake rigging is missing the "pipes" from the reservoir. Would the pipes go over the center sill or through it? On a related topic, this kit comes with plastic brake components from Bowser, and they look pretty good to me. Are these available separately, and could they be used to replace the rather crude plastic castings found in earlier Sunshine kits, specifically the C&O boxcar with Deco ends? I'm not bashing Sunshine, just the castings supplied in the earlier kits. Thanks for any information Jerry Michels |

On a related topic, this kit comes with plastic brake components from Bowser, and they look pretty good to me. Are these available separately They most definitely are. They come from Bowser and are marketed in the Cal Scale line. The part number is 190-283. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/190-283 I, too, have trouble with the cast resin brake components, and this part has become my standard. Another option is Detail Associates 6227. This looks like the set that Ted used in his RMC sidebar on AB brakes. It contains some different brake wheels and housings, as well as some other parts that certain applications need. Andy Cich |
