Help identifying a caboose part.

The left ones are air hoses for the train brakes.  They go on the right side of the coupler attached to the underframe.

The right ones appear to be a "dump valve" that would be mounted inside the cupola, so the brakeman could put the train into emergency if he sees something go wrong.

Norton, I look forward to seeing your progress of building it.  Yes, I believe those lower right valves are mounted to the upper-right area of the conductors desk near the cupola, at least they are in our caboose.  Shouldn’t there be an air pressure gauge too?

I’m in search of one of these kits.  Do they come up for sale often?

I have seen those valves on the end railings. They control the air of the train on back-up moves. Usually accompanied by small air whistles.

Thanks guys. I may have to check the one closer to me to verify the location. Rusty, I just posted the pic of the glad hands to differentiate from the other part. Phil, no air gauge in the kit but I could fab one if I can see where it belongs. I have another kit but still haven’t made up my mind if I will do another. Plan on closing your doors for a month if you get one to build. I expect to have about 100 hours in this before I am done.

I may have found them.

No sign of them on the platform.

Also found the air gauge.

The first picture shows the water tank.  It’s filled from those pipes.  The air valve is next to the gauge in the second photo above the desk.  The air pipes come up directly to that from the floor behind that wall and under the cupola.

So what I have is not what is used on this caboose, rather I should duplicate what is seen above the table?

Pete,

Tom 4 from Syracuse O Gauge group and project manager for the restoration of NYC Caboose 19144 on the New York State Fairgrounds. As was said, the top parts are break hoses. The U shape shut offs do not belong in and NYC 19000 Series Caboose. They might belong in another type NYC caboose, but not a Wood sided 19000 series.

Thanks Tom. Somewhere I have some pictures of yours. The one above is in Industry, NY which is what I am trying to model, sort of.
