Jim,

So if I’m understanding correctly the Phase I cars had the NY brake setup until they’re EOL.  While my C&S interest remains 1905-1915 in On3.  The CW kits are Sn3 and are for my RGS October 1940 interests.

It just seems odd to me that CW would provide the wrong brake reservoir/cylinder in the kit.  I have only checked 2 of my 5 kits but those 2 each had the Westinghouse part not the NY.  Maybe it was just a mistake.  The brake levers and clevises is a resin casting and rather crude.  I was building this car kit at the beach on vacation so I had limited supplies and tools.  I did build up some levers and added PBL clevises.  I’ll post some photos of my effort tomorrow but I want to get this correct before painting and decaling.   Maybe Steve would be willing to print and sell me some of his S scale setups.
