I donno, Jim. Maybe I just don't have your depth of perception but while I might see some of what you see I don't see enough to say that this frame is the same as that on 306. The photo in the book isn't any better than the photo in my files. I've played with it in Photoshop attempting to wring more info out of it and it just ain't there. I just tried again earlier today and frankly I've gotten pretty hopeless about finding secrets in bad prints - or negatives; there has to be something there (in the form of Silver Halide) in order for it to be found

My point wasn't what frame this was but that the brake cylinder was adaptable to either or any of the frames. (in support of the idea brake cylinders were applied in the mid to late '90s). If you are correct that this is an earlier (and not necessarily the original) frame you've just reinforced that point.

I have a couple of village depot kits where it appears the RP'd pedestals would work well. Thanks for the link.
