Good evening forumites

I have a number of Austrian bogie coaches of this basic shape. . .

View attachment 272752

. . . (either purchased second-hand, or assembled from parts acquired here, there and everywhere), that lacked some of the minor detailing parts. I have managed to source some buffers (new old stock) but am struggling to find the appropriate brake hoses. Do any of you have some spare ones of the right type that I might buy? I'm looking up to eight.

The ones I need come in two different shapes but the thing they have in common is that the fixing prongs are 7mm apart, and these are separated from the vertical pipe by having a "block", to allow for the coach bodies overhanging the buffer beam. As (even a slightly fuzzy) "picture is worth a thousand words" the ones I'm looking for are above the green tick . . .

. . . while the ones I have plenty of (without that "block") are above the red cross.

Can anyone help?

PS I didn't think it would be worth asking but, if anyone has a spare roof for these coaches (forlorn hope, I'm sure!), I'd be VERY interested in hearing from you

Thanks in anticipation

Hi David, are the brake hoses ,marked with the red cross still surplus to your requirements? If so, I would be interested in taking at least some of them off your hands.

Sorry!

My earlier comment about "having plenty of" that style was based on having a plastic pot (close at hand) containing twenty four brake hose mouldings. Now that you've prompted me to look at how many disassembled ToyTrain wagons I've got in various stages of reconstruction (in various places round the house and garage), I've found twelve (!) which means that all the brake hoses I have are currently 'spoken for'.

If that changes, or if I find another stash, I'll get in touch.

Best wishes
