Apparently these cars had a unique underbody AB brake system setup
with all the major components located on one side. Does anyone have a diagram for these cars to confirm this or can someone elaborate on the placement of piping etc? thanks in advance Stefan Duncan, BC Canada

I've built a couple of the Sunshine Models kits. The instructions/data sheet contains underframe information. IIRC, you are correct about the major components all being on the same side of the center sill. I can scan it and e-mail it to you. I should be able to get to it over the weekend. Paul

Hi Richard, I have photos of the underframe on models at my web site, which is below. The prototype car on its side was being scrapped. I do have another photo of a derailment in the 1950's also showing the underbody.
