If anyone could answer this - what do the two separate brake levers do/control?
matthew376 2 years ago
Greetings, The bigger of the levers over the far side of the cab is the train brake lever, this is the one used most often, and the smaller lever in front of the driver is the loco brake handle for use mainly when running light engine, You sometimes notice on preserved lines that the loco brake is applied once a train has stopped, and the train brakes released, which, depending on gradient can cause the stock to either buffer up, or roll back until the couplings catch tight.

Ok thanks. Just one more thing, am i right in thinking that the train brake on this loco is a vacuum brake?
matthew376 2 years ago
Greetings
yes thats right, but many Rfd 47s were fitted with air brakes, this one now uses Vacum brakes, but may also be fitted with air brakes, although not used at Bodmin, unless some air braked vehicles arrive, when it can be switched over by a switch in the engine room compartment.
