This is interesting. In UK we do not have "emergency braking" from EoT, but we do have some trains that have both service and emergency braking from both ends of the train. These include the HST sets (with a power car at both ends), Inter City 225 push pull sets and push pull trains with a Class 90 electric loco at one end and Mk III DVT at the other. These use the Davies & Metcalfe E70 or Westinghouse ‘Westcode’ DW1, DW2 or DW3 brake systems. Although the intermediate vehicles are not 'EP' braked, the EP signals from the drivers' brake valve at the front of the train are used to operate the drivers' brake valve at the rear of the train, thus initiating brake application from both ends of the train at the same time. Could this sort of model be used to simulate this kind of braking? (Or would that need to be done differently?)
There is the difference that now only the emergency braking is managed with the EOT, and not the service braking, so I think that using the EOT code would not be the best solution.
What you suggest is however a feature that I suppose is available not only in UK trains. It involves working on the braking code, and this is within the scope of another developer :). For the EOT I only limited myself to open the rear end cock valve when the EOT is asked to vent the brake pipe.
