EMD F7 brakes

Hi Folks

I have driven an EMD F7 before (the one that is included in Railworks) and when I apply the brakes, it takes time to stop.
Once I apply the brakes to slow it down, I need to allow the brake cylinder pressure to be released before I can open throttle.

This loco can be a beast to drive comparing with other British locomotives, but at the end of the day it is an American loco.

Any ideas about braking on the EMD F7? Suggestions and solutions are welcome.

Cheers :D

It would depend on what the loco is pulling as to brake performance.
With a big train it takes time for the brakes to apply and release

The might be a patch on RW America
