Does anyone out there have a layout of the D&RGW business car brake system? Specifically, I would like to understand how the brake actuator and air reservoir are positioned and work when they are forced to be placed outside of the needle beams. I am building car B-8 which has what looks like a fuel tank and tool box in the space between the needle beams. Therefore the brake stuff has to be placed outboard of that.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
