Railway Air Break Controller

Semi Realistic Railway Air Break Controller

How It Works:

Turning on the air compressor pressurizes the main air line.
The "air supply" on each train car has to be turned on in order for the break reservoir tank to pressurize.
Engaging the breaks lowers the pressure in the main air line throught the whole train.
The main air line controls the valves on each car wich let air from the break reservoir tank into the break cylinder.

Emergency Break:

When using the emergency break the main air line gets completly vented - causing all break cylinders to pressurize rapidly.
When a train car - that has its break reservoir tank filled - is disconnected from the main air line/ detached from the locomotive - its break cylinder automatically pressurize - just like when using the emergency break.

How To Use:

Place on locomotive and select "locomotive"
Place on each train car and select "train car"
The composite signal from the locomotives break controller has to reach each break controller on the train cars.

See example train on how to hook the controllers up on a locomotive and train car.

Composite Signals:

main air line channel 30
break cylinder pressure channel 31
air reservoir tank pressure channel 32
