| Post subject: | 6 ET brake system variations |
I've been going over the 6-ET brake system blue prints and I'm finding that our locomotive has different pieces. For instance, there is a valve (either a feed or reduction valve) attached directly to the automatic brake valve. The reason I am looking into this is, we are missing some piping that was cut out of our locomotive when a contractor installed "special affects" plumbing into the cab (not our doing!). I we have no photos of the brake piping in the cab prior to the time we started working on the locomotive. Are there any variations to the 6-ET system that might explain the slight differences?

Does it look like this? Attachment: 401 Brake valves small.jpg [ 97.25 KiB | Viewed 3473 times ] There is a version of the H-6 pipe bracket that has the feed valve mounted directly to it. This one is on Southern 401 at the Monticello Railway Museum. Other than the lack of a separate feed valve pipe bracket and the associated pipe to the H-6 pipe bracket, everything else is the same. |
