Brake Equipment Arrangement for Twin Trailer Flatcars

[BCR 570]

Good Evening:

I am wondering if anyone with one of the Atlas, BLMA or Micro-Trains twin trailer flatcars might be able to flip one over and take a photograph showing the arrangement of the brake equipment for me?  I do not have a drawing to work from for my scratchbuilt cars and need to come up with an appropriate arrangement for the air reservoir, brake cylinder, triple valve and related plumbing.

Thank you,

Tim

Thank you Mark; this confirms what i ad suspected.  The NMRA diagram shows the runs to the trucks on the same side of the car as the AB reservoir, with a lever extending across to the run from the brake cylinder.  I didnt see how that would work with the deep centre sills.  Your photo shows a linkage to the runs to the trucks on the same side as the brake cylinder which makes more sense.  I will work on that tonight.

Thanks again,

Tim
