<p>[quote user="oltmannd"]Cause that's how you do it! Bunch them up gently with the independent, then dynamic brake. You have to get the little bit of slack bunched and get draft gear in compression.[/quote]</p> <p>On page 19 we already had a short discussion of train handling. The following was stated:</p> <blockquote class="quote"> <div class="quote-user"><strong><em>243129 said:</em></strong></div> <div class="quote-content"><em>As I have stated previously use of the independent brake to reduce speed, no matter the increment, on a 'live' passenger train is indicative of poor train handling and lack of or poor training.</em></div> <div class="quote-content"> </div> </blockquote> <p>Somehow I'm lost.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
