Correct, They worked on pressure switches.

The biggest difference is that with double piped system you have auxiliary reservoirs always charged. This makes the brake 'inexhaustible'. Quite a difference during mountain railroading with old push-pull consist and engine not equipped with dynamic brakes.

That is exactly the same for me. However, there are two different types of air twin pipe. One that keeps the aux res charged and one that requires a manual charge. The latter is already being looked at.

Thanks

What do you mean saying 'manual charge'? Could you show some technical description, link? Doc? I didn't know that there are twin pipe systems which do not charge the aux res as soon as possible. Is it possible to simulate this second system in ORTS? Thank you.

One of the developers is looking into this for air twin pipe. Manual charge is when the train brake handle is in the release position. Prototypical, my push-pull trainset is twin pipe but the auxiliary reservoir will only recharge after an application, when the train brake handle has return to release. This means you must wait up to 20 seconds before re-applying the brake, so the auxiliary reservoir can fully recharge. Also you cannot make a partial release of the brake. This trainset uses a triple valve.

OK, thanks. I will try it.

Anyway it is much needed (in my opinion) to have fully functional single pipe brake system with a possibility to charge the air line in both directions.

Artur, I agree 100% on single pipe systems.

I agree %100 too. At least a parameter to allow it if selected unit is equipped to do this effect (controlling rear unit equipped to signal even trailing rear units to help.)

Evening, Have we yet a fix for the single pipe systems which causes the Milwaukee Road electrics to not function correctly in ORTS?
