Foothill Model Works has begun its' transition to styrene injection molded kits and this is our first offering. Based on measurements of a WSLCo. Camp Niagra camp car's wooden brake beam, this incredible accurate, highly detailed part fills in one of the last remaining missing detail parts of a West Coast arch bar truck - the brake beams. The detail has to be seen to be believed, in fact, you might even need a magnifying glass! Rest assured though, their styrene construction means they're durable enough for day to day operations on your layout. One look and we're sure you'll agree, you won't be satisfied without them anymore!

This set of high quality, On3, Styrene castings features the following:

• Made of easy to assemble and paint styrene.
• Incredible detail and accuracy.
• Suitable for several railroads, including the WSLCo., SPC, NPC and many other western railroads.
• Fits a number of different MacLeod Western and Simpson trucks.
• Easy to follow, photographic instructions by FMW.

On3 Wooden Brake Beams:

Our first 2005 addition to our growing line of O scale, plastic detail parts (cast in Celcon® for strength); this brake wheel is a copy of an ACME 15" brake wheel (part #17781) from the Roots of Motive Power collection in Willits, CA. The ratchet comes from drawings of a common ratchet from a Lovsted catalog. The pawl is a copy of one used on one of the WSLCo.'s camp cars. The parts are cast with a 0.0201" hole, but can easily be drilled out for a 0.0253" wire (or 0.0285" if you're careful). Once installed on your model on the end of the brake staff, a large Nut/Bolt/Washer should used on top of the brake wheel hub. This highly detail part set is suitable for use in any gauge in O scale (O, On3, On30, On2, etc.).

ACME 15" Brake Wheel w/Ratchet & Pawl:

Commonly used on this rail size into the early 20th century in new construction, then common on older or re-laid rail, these flat plates were used to connect rail sections together. This set fits code 70 rail and is meant to be installed in pairs; bolt heads on the inside, nuts on the outside. Excellent for use on hand laid rail where extra detail is desired on visible, foreground track. Cosmetic only. Suitable for use in any gauge in O scale (O, On3, On30, On2, etc.).

Code 70 Fishplates:

Commonly used on this rail size into the early 20th century in new construction, then common on older or re-laid rail, these flat plates were used to connect rail sections together. This set fits code 83 rail and is meant to be installed in pairs; bolt heads and nuts alternating on the inside and outside. Excellent for use on hand laid rail where extra detail is desired on visible, foreground track. Cosmetic only. Suitable for use in any gauge in O scale (O, On3, On30, On2, etc.).

Code 83 Fishplates:

Inspired by the those used by the West Side Lumber Company, these link and pin couplers are designed to fit on a car designed to use Kadee® No. 26 couplers. These couplers will take advantage of Kadee®'s standard box and spring to steady them in operation and to keep the head centered on the end of the car. The shanks have been thickened for a more scale look, but are easily modified for tight fits. They're even cast in styrene so paint will stick!
