In winter 2005, I decided that I would place air brakes in all three of my riding cars. I had used the MCC version but had problems with captive nuts falling off. Therefore I decided to make them myself. The final product works well and I have not had any problems. The best part is that they are inexpensive and my train will now stay put. I have a complete set of drawings for the brakes. All that is needed to build a set of brakes is basic metal working tools and a lathe for the acrylic pistons. Please send me an email if you are interested in building a set. My email is shown on the home page.
