Loco Steam Brakes
Posted: Tue Jun 06, 2017 5:08 pm
Hi All
I am in the process of constructing a few of the Ffestiniog locos & coaching stock for Steve Fleming's (ThePhantomPhish) Ffestiniog route that some of you maybe aware of.
I am having a problem getting the locos to work with both Vaccuum Brakes and Steam brakes in the engine blueprints.
Train Braking using vacuum systems is not a problem and works fine. However, the Loco Brake (using Steam Brake definitions) simply don't want to respond.
Interestingly, I have not found any steam locos that use this combination that work either - the settings are all there in the blueprints but I find that switching to Loco Brakes has no effect whatsoever and you can drive away as if no braking was being applied.
Wondered if any of you have managed to get this to work successfully or have any ideas??
Cheers
Steve
