EN57 brake

[Anonymous]

Another question, for the expert.

Is normal the behavior of the brake of the EN57? I say, when I apply the first position of the brake the train stop quickly. on the second position nothing happend, and in the third position is more natural the detention of the unit. The four position is emergency and obviusly stops suddenly.

In real live the EN57 units have electropneumatic brakes or only pneumatic? (yes, I've been testing the *.chk files).

Electropneumatic and pneumatic (EP is started from switch [maybe])

Thanks again, Hunter.

But I wonder if in Maszyna Sim this type of brake, electropneumatic, is realy implemented and operative for the EN57, like in the EP09 loco.

Hi Guti

This is how I brake the EN57

1.on starting i press . to release and return to hold position that is key 4

2.when i need to brake i press key 3 and immediately 4 again to hold when the cylinder has reached about 0.2Pa

3.adjust braking by releasing it partially by . key and retuning to 4 again

Thanks, Ashwanth,

Try to change this lines:

-1 0.5    0.0   6  ElectroPneumatic
 0 -1   -1   0  ElectroPneumatic
 1 -1   0.35   4  ElectroPneumatic
 2 -1   -1      0  ElectroPneumatic      
 3 0.34   -1   2  Pneumatic
 4 0   -1   40 Pneumatic

in the 6ba.chk file for those other:

-1 0.5    0.0   6  ElectroPneumatic
 0 -1         -1    2  ElectroPneumatic
 1 0.45     0.08   2  ElectroPneumatic
 2 0.35     0.18  2  ElectroPneumatic      
 3 0.29   0.25  2  Pneumatic
 4 0         0.41  40 Pneumatic

and you'll say me.

Don't forget make a backup of the original 6ba.chk.
