Rarely do I post comments, good or bad, about people’s MOCs, but this is a
really great design. However, after working for the RR and climbing up and down
on this type of car for years I have to notice that I didn’t see any handbrake
wheels on it. Usually these 5 pack intermodal cars have a handbrake wheel on
each end, sometimes mounted on top of the deck, other times on the side
reachable from ground level. Not sure where the brakewheels were mounted on the
prototype for this car though.
Minor nit-pick I know, but it’s not really all that noticable unless one is
actually looking for it since the rest of the design with the air brake
resoviors, top decking, and cross bracing is so well done.
