Hi
Re

Wanted to add some brake linkage detail underneath my brake van as it looks a bit empty.
Could anyone help with details it looks to me as if the mechanism is in the center not on the sides as on wagons if that makes any sense.

Do the details in this extract from Vol 1 of the Southern Wagons book help you?:

Looks very much like the pull was in the center to me.
