Hi All
I found on train orders, that the modern caboose, handbrake system, controlled, the brakes on both sets of trucks. Whereas the older type of hand brakes only controlled the brakes on ONE SET of trucks. I have found on the web a few underside brake diagrams of cabooses, but they were not sharp enough. I will take a look at my Car Builders Cyclopedia and I will get back to you.
