Modelcar, <br /> <br /> Using dynamic brakes is more fuel efficient than stretch braking using the air is what I think Rodney is trying to say. Leaving the throttle at say N5 and then setting first sevice makes the engines work harder to pull on the train. Dynamic brakes retard the movement of the train at the engines only. This is a really bad explanation, but it is from a very basic understanding. Did I help at all????[%-)]
