Product Description
For modelers who don't want a complete 1/8 (inch-and-a-half) scale brake set, this product contains just the brake reservoir.
This AB brake reservoir kit includes a brake cylinder formed in two halves. It features keyed components so that it cannot be assembled incorrectly.
This highly-accurate model is meant for outdoor and live steam modeling use. It is designed to be attached to models using pins provided by the modeler, utilizing the parts' realistic bolt holes-- finishing nails seem to work well for this process. All of the components' pipe ports are included pre-formed and are scaled to prototypical standards.
The recommended plastic for this reservoir is Versatile (formerly Strong and Flexible) nylon. The grainy finish compliments the durable nature of real railroad brake equipment.
If you wish to purchase a complete set of 1/8 scale AB brake components, instead of just the brake reservoir, a separate product page for a complete set can be found from our main Shapeways store page.
Note: This brake reservoir will not hold air pressure and cannot be used to distribute braking forces for a freight car. It merely looks really good.
