Krois-Modell 6063, Brake shoe ejection brake with catch box

Valley and Ramp Brakes

Brake shoe ejection devices (also called Büssing brakes after the former most important manufacturer) are not actual track brakes, but rather stop a car from decelerating by throwing the underlying brake shoe sideways into a catch box through a switch-like structure.

Model:

In the model, the sleeper body and the catch box are made of plastic.

The rails are Tillig 2.1 mm nickel silver, burnished.

The brake shoes used are Krois model KM6062.

If the brake shoe is correctly positioned in front of the ejection device, it will fall into the ejection device.

The track length is 100 mm.
