Midland10/12 van D664

[Siberian Snooper]

Hi, I am putting together the cambrian kit for the Midland Railway 10/12 ton van and I have a queryabout the brake arrangement. My interpretation of the destructions is that it should have brakes both sides but only one brake lever, can any one please clarify the situation. I am modelling it as it would be just post grouping and still in MR.

 

Many thanks

Looking at the picture on cambrians site, it looks like independent brakes both sides.

I actually have a dimensional drawing of the diag 664?(the one youre building) and it appears to have independent brakes. I doubt it would have one brake lever and 2 sets of brakes. Usually its 2 levers. One brake.

Thanks Spitfire that settles it, two sets of independent brakes, I thought it a bit odd to have only one brake lever, as there is no cross shaft that I can see in the model photo on the Cambrian site and I prefered to confirm my suspicions before sticking the second set on.

 

Cheers
