Thanks, Tim!
Elden Detail Associates makes 8-rung ladders for 10'6" cars (DA 6241). Out of stock at Walthers. Red Caboose also tooled 8-rung ladders for their 10'6" ex-Front Range box cars, part #8700-03, also out of stock at the manufacturer. Here is a lever brake from Detail Associates -- I think it was tooled for modern intermodal cars but it may be adaptable for other uses. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/229-6238 <http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/229-6238> You can shorten a 50' ZU eave roof to make a 40' version. :-) The only 40' versions are made for reefers.

Elden,
Precision Scale has an HO scale Miner Ideal lever handled brake assembly in their Catalog #3. It says it's for tender/caboose so I'm not sure it will meet your needs. I've had the catalog for at least five or six years (maybe more) and the price for this is $2.50 ea. It's part number HO-3567. I remember reading somewhere last year that they've moved. Their website is http://www.precisionscaleco.com/ Walter M.
