In looking back over this thread to figure out how to 3D print the brake gear for some 1902 cars, I think I've been able to capture most of the detail in the photo Jim posted. I left out the long rods, which would be better handled via wire (.015 in HO, and similarly, if larger, in other scales).
Here's what the 3D model looks like:
Modeling the cotter pins is probably gilding the lily, but only took a couple minutes. :)
If anyone spots anything fundamentally wrong with this, let me know.
