    The problem about giving advice on a question like this is that I am not familiar with the plans but I am sure that with a little working out that it could be possible it may mean adding links which are not shown on them

    Thanks for that I have worked out how to make the brakes work ,I will slot the holes in brake beam to allow movement and use a cam on brake leaver to push links to operate .
    Thanks i have made wheels and frame so far I put steel bands around wheel rims like real ones looks good .
