CCB-26 brake

[tery84_trainee]

might sound like a bit of an odd question but could anyone hear tell me how you would go about seting up a locomotive that is equiped with a CCB-26 brake to be a slave unit with only brake pipe connected,e.g push pull setup?

"Slave" unit and "Push-pull" are two different things entirely. Could you be more specific about what you want/need the locomotive to do?

What railroad or transit agency do you work for?

in a slave unit it has to be cut out like in trail. if its a manned pusher just the automatic is cut out if unmanned its set up in train again. this is of course i understand what your asking.

i did say brake pipe only , i work for an australian railway and were just testing at the moment a new locomotive built for chicargo freight car leasing australia and i beleve it is the first time the CCB 26 has been used in aust.

i understand that with the 26l you would leave the automatic cut out in handel off and the ind handel in the release position and the mu2a in lead/dead but as far as i know the ccb26 only has one cut out swich
