Wagon Brake Shoes with Hangers – 8 pairs- OO / 4mm scale

These OO/4mm scale Wagon Brake Shoes with Hangers are a valuable accessory for improving the detail and accuracy of older or damaged rolling stock. They are especially beneficial for modelers working with older Wrenn and Lima wagons, where the brake shoes are often misaligned by a scale six inches from the wheels. This pack offers an easy solution to correct these inaccuracies and enhance the overall realism of your models.

The kit includes 8 pairs of unpainted resin brake shoes, enough to complete two four-wheeled wagons. These brake shoes are designed to fit a wide range of manufacturers’ models, including Wrenn, Hornby, Triang, Lima, Mainline, and Replica, making them highly versatile for various wagon types. Whether you’re working with kit-built models or ready-to-run wagons that need a bit of extra detail, these brake shoes will bring an added level of authenticity to your rolling stock.

Crafted from high-quality resin, the brake shoes provide fine detailing and a realistic appearance. They can be easily painted with acrylic or enamel paints. Once painted, the brake shoes can be securely glued to your wagons using cyanoacrylate (superglue) or epoxy resin adhesives.

The photos of the brake shoes fitted to a Keyser SR CCT wagon showcase the noticeable improvement these parts can make to the overall look of a model. By adding this small but essential detail, your wagons will have a more accurate and visually appealing finish, greatly enhancing their appearance on your layout.

In summary, this brake shoe pack offers an affordable, easy-to-use solution for correcting misaligned brakes and adding realistic detail to your OO scale wagons, making it an ideal upgrade for both vintage and modern models.
