Yet another Brake question please?

[paulco]

When the Emergency Brake is applied when overspeeding how do I get going again?

No amount of releasing the Brakes seems to do anything, and after a few minutes I give up and start the Activity again.

Many thanks

Regards

Paul.

It depends on what train you are using as some developers include different features. In practice it is best to return the reverser to neutral, remove the desk key (where possible) and reactivate the DRA (where possible). Do all of this with the brake still in the emergency position. Then reset the AWS and vigilance (where possible) and start the process of opening the desk on the train again from scratch.

Has this answer got anything to do with MSTS?

Hi Clive, Dennis & Matthew, Thanks for all your replies.

Will experiment with these ideas.

Many thanks.
