Our first 2005 addition to our growing line
of O scale, plastic detail parts (cast in Celcon® for strength);
this brake wheel is a copy of an ACME 15″ brake wheel (part
#17781) from the Roots of Motive Power collection in Willits,
CA.
The ratchet comes from drawings of a common
ratchet from a Lovsted catalog. The pawl is a copy of one used
on one of the WSLCo.’s camp cars.
The parts are cast with a 0.0201″ hole, but
can easily be drilled out for a 0.0253″ wire (or 0.0285″ if
you’re careful).
Once installed on your model on the end of
the brake staff, a large Nut/Bolt/Washer should used on top of
the brake wheel hub.
This highly detail part set is suitable for
use in any gauge in O scale (O, On3, On30, On2, etc.). |

| On3 Wooden Brake Beams, in
Injection Moulded Styrene |
 |
without and with comparison
| Foothill Model Works has begun its
transition to styrene injection moulded kits and this is our
first offering. Based on measurements of a WSLCo. Camp Niagra
camp car’s wooden brake beam, this incredible accurate, highly
detailed part fills in one of the last remaining missing detail
parts of a West Coast arch bar truck - the brake beams. The
detail has to be seen to be believed, in fact, you might even
need a magnifying glass! Rest assured though, their styrene
construction means they’re durable enough for day to day
operations on your layout. One look and we’re sure you’ll agree,
you won't be satisfied without them anymore!
This set of high quality, On3, Styrene
castings features the following:
- Made of easy to assemble and paint
styrene.
- Incredible detail and accuracy.
- Suitable for several railroads,
including the WSLCo., SPC, NPC and many other western
railroads.
- Fits a number of different MacLeod
Western and Simpson trucks.
- Easy to follow, photographic
instructions by FMW.
On3 Wooden Brake Beams: This set of
castings includes all the styrene castings required to complete
one set of brake beams for one pair of trucks (trucks, wheels,
car kit, brake levers, glue, and paint not included).
