QUESTION ON BRAKE STEP


WILLIAM PARDIE
 

Hi Earl:

I would like to obtain four of the brake steps in HO.  Shipping cost is not a factor.

Please provide a price and the preferred means of payment.

The Kass brake step appears to have used the same pattern as the
passenger step boxes also produced by the company. I discovered that
Jeff English had one of the latter in his cellar when I visited this
year, and I measured it then. I made a CAD file for a brake step based
on this, as I was working on a RI 40' Fowler car that also featured this
appliance. I can print them out in any scale, but shipping them might be
cost prohibitive based on just one tiny part.

The brake step is perforated.
