BEN BROWN'S WORKING AIRHOSES

Alan HummelOGR Forum Member

I just read Ben Brown's article on making working airlines for O Scale airlines. Seeing that was written 10 years ago,are the materials still available? The angle cocks and glad hands from Precision Scale should be available or did I read somewhere they are out of business now?

Secondly,will the magnets couple regardless of the positioning of the car? By this I mean,does the polarity of the magnets have to be negative on 1 gladhand,while the opposing magnet has to be positive? The MAGNELOCK airlines offered in HO Scale,couple regardless of polarity,how this is accomplished I don't know. These were supposed to be offered in O Scale but I guess never made it to market.

Mr. Brown's article looks VERY INTERESTING to me!

Thank you in advance, to all who can help me with information on this subject. thumb

As Always,
