Looks like I found another guy looking for the same answer.

Joe,

You might also reference the Atlas 17,600 gallon syrup cars to see where they located the brake system parts.  I'd like to think they put them in the right places.

Joe, bring your camera to Avon, NY. There is a corn syrup plant in Lakeville, NY  that used to be the main reason for the existence of the Livonia, Avon, and Lakeville RR. 

There are sidings in Avon adjacent to US20 that you should be able to get pics of these cars. There are also sidings in Lakeville and Henrietta but I suspect you will get the least hassle in Avon.

Dear Sir,

See those brackets you placed under the car, the brake rigging goes in there.. there are long steel pipe that to the brake cylinder and the brake rigging in the trucks.. Here is my email as I can send you diagrams..

Yes, I do understand that. I'm trying to describe the air line piping.

I found this:

Nice find Joe, these are interesting images for those who weather their rolling stock.

Joe,

Here is what the B end of the car should look like..  "B end" meaning, the Brake End.. Railcars actually do have names to the ends! 

Thanks Dan, that helps.

here's the kit for anyone who's interested:

I got the main piping plumbed in and I'll finish up later.

So this is G-Scale.. Very cool! I like it..  Neat products..
