I've just bought a Kato CNW SD38-2 ... unlike previous UP of the same I straight away put it with an SD40 and SD45... so I noticed that they forgot the dynamic brakes[/b[]]! ...UM... didn't notice on the UP... Seriously... it made me think... 1. okay dynamics started in the hills and CNW ran a lot of flat track... so: a. when did dynamics get everywhere? b. were SD38-2s (and others) retro fitted? 2. were dynamic braked locos kept seperate from dynamics... a. by area? b. by useage? c. in consists 3. if both dynamic and non in the same consist... a. I assume that nons reduced available dynamic brake force... put the other way total dynamic brake force could only add up to total of dynamic fitted locos. Did dynamic braked locos have to be cut in together or could control signals be passed via non-dynamics? b. Would lead loco have to be dynamic equipt fo dynamics to work?
