Why do you need tech drawings for AAR brakes?
Hi ironken
In our railroad museum (Europe) we created some big boards showing different railroad brake systems. As we own also some of older US RR equipment from IIWW (USRA S-160, some cars) we would like to present also the American systems (historical).
Additionally one of collegues is a professional trainer for RR engineers and he would like to include those details also into his trainings especially the new systems used now on US railroads.
The following descriptions are required:
Triple valve
Driver’s Brake valve
and the Knorr Brakes made for US RR:
KE 3, DB 680
Any information will be appreciated.
