S and E Railcar Parts is your one stop shop for replacement motorcar brake shoes. Formerly Thunderhill Services, S and E Railcar Parts prides themselves on the same quality and precision that the hobby has known.

Using original Fairmont shoes as a pattern, our cast iron shoes are nearly indistinguishable from the OEM shoes sold many decades ago from Fairmont. Our predecessor experimented with bonding liners and found the performance less than that of the original shoes. Because of this, we do not use bonded liners but rather pour close to the same Rockwell hardness as an original Fairmont shoe. This offers the same braking power as factory shoes, and is not excessively hard to avoid pre-mature wear on your motorcar wheels.

Our wood block shoes are made of high quality Oak that is machined to better than OEM specifications, and finished off with a golden stained and sealed with polyurethane. This makes a quality block that not only looks good, but will function on your car for many years to come.
