In 1979, BRASS CAR SIDES began producing photoetched brass HO sides for the coaches and parlors for the 1948 Twin Cities and Olympian Hiawathas, and in 1981 we added the 16-4 "Raymond" and 8-6-4 "River" sleepers for the post-war Pioneer Limited. Since 2002 we have added numerous other side sets in both HO and N-scale for the Olympian Hiawatha and the entire Milwaukee post-war fleet.

    Takin~ff the Brakes that are Always On Journal friction is like brakes that are always on, eating coal, lubricant and metal. Timken Tapered Roller Bearings have made that condition needless. Famous trains with Timken-equipped journals are proving it. Gone is 88% of starting resist~nce! The cause of jerky, destructive starting is eliminated. So is the risk of hot boxes and the need for constant lubrication. Furthermore, Timken Bearings have the supreme endur­ ance which provides for all the battering thrust and weight of flanged steel wheels racing over steel curves, frogs and switches. For all load from all directions is equally well handled by the exclusive combination of Timken tapered construction, Timken POSITIVELY ALIGNED ROLLS and Timken-made electric steel.
