Now all of you were far too polite to point out that just sticking a brake wheel on the back of a skip wouldn't exactly do much to slow it down and that my skip was actually lacking something very important i.e. brakes! I had fitted a second copy of my brake platform parts to another Binnie kit and spent Friday evening measuring and drawing (on paper) the parts that I'd need. Saturday morning and a hour in Onshape followed by a couple of hours on the 3D printer and I had a first version of the parts.

(this is upside down - viewed from the bottom)

I had to go back and have a second go with the brake blocks (I'd misaligned them with the wheels) but I think the result fits the bill. I did take a couple of photos of the print as it came off the printer but being black PLA it is very difficult to get a picture that actually shows anything!

I'll try and print another couple of sets to fit to the other braked wagons.

Finally we can put on the brakes properly and stop relying on a lump of wood jammed under the wheel.
