Mike Huxley Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm building a 7mm GWR Brake Van and want to make the brake fittings underneath as accurate as possible. I've trawled all references I have and been through all I can find online, without success in being able to find any drawings of the layout. Can anybody help please?

Mike Huxley Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Is it a vacuum fitted one or not. Unfitted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Huxley Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Herewith a copy of the diagram for a typical un-fitted GW goods brake - GWR Toad brakes.jpg Jim Thanks Jim, but it's the fitting of the brake system underneath that I need. I.E, how the hand brake attaches the the yokes of the pull rods, and how it is connected to the opposite end, with the actuators that the rod attaches to.

Mike Huxley Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 If I have a chance and one is in the right place I will try to take some photos for you early August. Thanks GWR, I would appreciate that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Huxley Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Took some photos today, and when sorted will post some on here as I hope I have got all the details you want. Thanks GWR, That will help me a lot. I di. d find out that the Parkwood Dundas kit includes most of the parts needed and also provide a reasonable drawing of how it all fits together. However, nothing beats looking at the original layout to bring the drawings into context Mike Edited August 7, 2017 by Mike Huxley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Huxley Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 GWR 1835, Those pictures are great, very helpful indeed. Thanks a lot for that. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yes for me too, my friend thrust a Parkside Toad kit into my hands the other day. Do I see piping there? My guess is that the van is through piped which is perfect for me because it is my intention to rig my build that way. There's what looks like a small diameter second pipe, wondering what that is. I think for context it would be useful to have a couple of shots of the van itself. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brossard Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Thanks for checking that GWR. I've finished mine now: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/125844-parkside-ps44-gwr-brake-dia-aa19/ John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmrspaul Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Showing the vac pipe and the off let most likely going to the brake controls in the enclosed part. DSCF3104A.jpg Showing the end where the vac pipe comes out from under the van. DSCF3106A.jpg It is the left hand of the two toads which I took the photos off. DSCF3107A.jpg If the BR finished van is 114751 then it is a conversion to a departmental riding van that has been destroyed to return it to a facsimile of the GWR brake van. http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrbrakevan/e346d8270 http://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrbrakevan/e286c45d9 Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
