Another key aspect of modelling things correctly is to be sure that the pointed end of the brake cylinder is facing the "B" end of the car. This would allow the brake linkage to be attached properly.

If you remember that the "B" end has the "B"rake wheel, this should help. A car may run in either direction, so no end is specifically the front.
