Howard’s brake castings are beautiful. I wish he had everything he sells displayed on his website.
Railroad Supply also sells freight car brake parts or did. Need to check their current catalog.

Re: New York Central Baggage Car
Thank you Jack. I need to cut some 3/8” T6 equalizers and am terrified the band saw blade will cut at an angle instead of 90 degrees. I need to buy a brand new blade and experiment on a corner.

Re: Des Peres Valley #4 - Baldwin 0-6-0 using Allen Models parts.
Awesome kitbash!

Is it 58” or 60”?
Have you thought of using the Allen Mogul

Looking forward to your project!

Re: Lettering on tongue/groove
Hi John,
Others have mentioned you can heat the vinyl mask with a hair dryer and push it down into the grooves.
I used a stencil brush, and still had a little bleed under. Easily touched up with a small brush.
Take care,
Brian
