Tim,
The CB&Q 40' combination door cars have Westinghouse AB brake systems. The air reservoir on the CB&Q version of these cars was mounted parallel to the side sills. This response was based on information taken from the CB&Q AFE sheets for CB&Q series #41000-41899 built at Havelock, NE between 1959 and 1961 and builders' photos.. Hope this response will answer your question.

Thanks, Tim Alund Elmhurst,IL --- In CBQ@yahoogroups.com, "DaveS" <sartherdj@...> wrote: > > Chad Boas has made sets of resin cast sides available for CB&Q modelers interested in building an HO scale replica of the CB&Q 40' Combination Door Car. I have purchased several of these resin cast sides not just for the CB&Q cars from the CB&Q series #41000-41899, but also resin cast sides and Mini Kits for other "Hill Lines" (NP and GN) 40' combination door cars and their variations from the same late 1950 to early 1960 era. These castings will allow the modeler to begin a model that doesn't have ladders and grab irons already cast into the sides that need to be removed prior to substituting the correct 8 rung ladders and "offset" grabs on the plug door end of the car. For a photo of one of these unique combination door cars see Spoor CB&Q Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Cars p. 55. The Boas resin castings also allow the modeler to use the very detailed late improved r/3/4 dreadnaught ends available from Branchline/Atlas and create the correct "overhang" roof not previously incorporated into any available models. This is a great kit bashing opportunity for those interested in very accurate models. > > As reported by Rupert in an earlier post, Jerry Glow has decals for the CB&Q cars in series #41000-41899 available as well as decals for two different NP variations and three different GN variations. Chad also has Mini Kits and resin cast sides available for purchase for any of the NP or GN variations. There has already been great interest in these combination door cars by NP modelers and they will be featured in the Summer editions of the NP Mainstreeter Modelers Pages as well as the GN Modelers Pages. > > If you would like more information you can contact Chad Boas at: chadboas@..., Jerry Glow through his website or write to me off-line. I have a few in progress model photos and lots of data and reference material to share for those interested. > > Later, Dave Sarther > __._,_.___
