I'm converting an old MDC Pullman car into a wreck train diner. My information is that these cars had either schedule LN or UC brake equipment. If anyone can suggest a source for a schematic or other diagram showing the layout of this equipment I'd be very grateful. Of course, I'm assuming these cars retained this schedule rather than being converted to AB brakes...

NMRA Data Sheet D9o pg. 15 has a schematic diagram of a UC brake system, and the July 1957 Model Railroader has a diagram of a typical 1900 vintage passenger car brake system as part of their "Bluebook" data sheet series. Gary Q
Mark, Though I don't have a diagram I do have study on a 1911 Pullman that has UC brakes. The booklet has some very good pictures of the brakes and other underbody equipment that might be helpful. Interestingly there is an isometric type drawing of the mechanical air conditioning system. It's in pdf. format and has been emailed to you. Bruce
Cal-Scale kit No. 300 (Walthers stock No. 190-300) for $2.50 includes the necessary parts and has a piping diagram. It's shown as currently out of stock, but you may check with Bowser who currently manufactures the Cal-Scale line.

Bruce, could I get that file emailed to me as well? I am doing pretty much the same thing and building a relief tender out of a pullman palace car.
