The discussion about brakewheels and the reference to the Walther's list raises a question. It appears that more than one company makes HO scale brakewheels. It is also true that in S we have very few brakewheel types available. Does anyone out there know whether perhaps some of the HO brakewheels are oversized. If so, they might well be used for freight cars in S that require a brakewheel different from that included in the kit.
The reference to kits might seem a bit out of place with the current lack of production due to what has occurred in China. Like many others, I have a modest stash of PRS and two or so AM box cars. Anyway, does a modeler out there have some thoughts. On the other hand, I am not at all informed about the inventory on O-scale brakewheels and the hope that some might be too small for O.

I don't believe there is a common locomotive brakewheel offered among any S scale detail parts, kind of a major omission. The SHS switcher sprues do have a mini version used in the EMD SW cabs. Possibly, the full-sized ones used on the AM SD-60 might be obtainable. I've been looking for something usable, without success.
