Tichy Ore Car Brake Wheel Height
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 9:30 AM
Need some advice on the height of the brake wheel on the 22' wood ore cars made by Tichy. From the picture on the box it looks like maybe 6' from the top of the rails?
Other info - these cars will be used on a 1905 era layout.

Thanks,
Allen

I'd keep it short; say no more than a scale 3 feet from the top of the brake platform.
