You know, this thread is something I look forward to each and every time I log in. Also this time a simple but innovative approach that can also encourage those who have not (yet) the possibility of 3D printing!
I love your ore cars!

Cheers, Peter

I have not given up my modeling, but as I am building 3 cars simultaneously, a lot of work done lately have been covered in earlier posts.



But last night I broke some new ground. 3 sets of brake cranks have been made:



The cranks are strictly handmade, no CNC, 3D printing or CAD involved! The brass knob at the top is kit bashed, as it started as a handrail knob:

Clever adaptation, good looking brake cranks. Will the brakes be functional?

Possible on one of the wagons. Hard to resist a little show-off potential...

Gorgeous!
What is the thread size/pitch?
May have to find a place to use some of those!
