Title: 'Pill Box' brake van bits
Post by: NeMo on June 09, 2013, 11:55:08 AM
Hello all,

Picked up on the Farish 'Pill Box' brake vans yesterday while visiting Kent Garden Railways (a surprisingly good place of N gauge, despite the name). Anyway, there's a bag of bits inside the box, show below, but what are these bits meant to be? The mock-drawbars are easy enough, but the things that look like pantographs? Got me stumped.

Cheers, NeMo

 That looks like the brake fittings, and should fit below the axles - scroll down this page:-
