ok heres the wagon with the gear on for the brake i got the wagon upside down so you can see how it works..you can see the u bolts that holds the brake rod you can see how i selver soldered all the parts in place all so the 2 ubolts that hold the beam that the brake beam.. the hangers i made out of 1/6'' rod held with a hanger bolted to the beam the brake beam swings and is puled tight when the lever on the end of the brake rod pulles forward theres a lot of work on this rod to keep the hanggers in the right place you need to put a keeper on the end then one on the rod just behind the last hangger they have some spring in them... hope this is clear

G'Day Gary,
I can't decide which is the better between the wagons and the stagecoach as BOTH ARE EXCELLENT, sir.
Your attention to detail and craftsmanship is first class and I can only be in awe at your project builds.....first class, first place, grand champion......
Cheers, crowie
