Hello.

We have a two-axle 760mm gauge diesel locomotive. The locomotive has its own direct air brake, clutch, push-wheel asynchronous manual gearbox. Like a cargo car in the 60s. Towed cars are braked by a brakeman.
What brake settings are needed in the Wagon section and the Engine section?
Wagon section:
BrakeSystemType ( Handbrake, Air_single_pipe )
	MaxBrakeForce ( 7kN )
	MaxReleaseRate ( 5 )
	MaxApplicationRate ( 10 )


I think this should be enough since there is no triple valve or auxiliary air tank.

Engine section:
EngineBrakesControllerMaxApplicationRate ( 10 )
EngineBrakesControllerMaxReleaseRate ( 12 )

BrakesEngineBrakeType ( Air_single_pipe )
BrakesTrainBrakeType ( Manual_brake )

BrakesEngineControllers ( "Independent,Hand" )

EngineControllers (
	...
	Brake_Engine ( 0 1 0.05 0
	NumNotches ( 2
			Notch ( 0 0 EngineBrakesControllerReleaseStart )
			Notch ( 0.05 1 EngineBrakesControllerApplyStart )
		)
	)
	Brake_Brakeman ( 0 1 0.05 0
		NumNotches ( 1
			Notch ( 0 1 BrakemanBrakesControllerManualBrakingStart )
		)
	)
	...
)


Will it be good this way?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely, Laci1959
