Part F: I would never use. I only use Kadee trucks.

I think he means the parts that are circled, not the trucks.

The rest of the stuff, looks about the way you called it.

I have a couple of those to build, guess I'll find out.

Part A: Pretty sure these are more tack boards

Part B: I believe they are the center door stops

Parts C: I think that is the bellcrank for the brake gear

Parts D & E: Could be the lines for in between the air reservoir, triple valve, and brake cylinder.

Part F: I would never use. I only use Kadee trucks.

I hope this helps.

Greetings!

I have some Intermountain HO Scale 50' PS 5277 undecorated boxcar kits that I'm going to start building. I have read, re-read, studied, read again, held upside down the instructions and still not sure what some of the parts are or where they go. I was wondering if I could get some input from all and those seasoned kit builders.

Parts 1 pic, what are parts A, B and C?

Parts 2 pic, what are parts D and E?

Parts 3 pic, how many people actually use F? I know they go on the trucks, does it really do anything, provide any more stability?

I believe I've properly identified most of the parts, if not, please let me know.

Thanks, Terry
