    Hi.

    I'm currently experiencing a problem with air slowly bleeding into the brake cylinder, and keep having to hold in 10.0.0.0.1 overcharge every couple of minutes.

    Has anyone else come across this issue?

    Thanks.

    The best thing I ever learned about brakes on older UK loco likes the class 20 is to never put it into 'release/overcharge'. If you do, even by mistake for less than a second or so... leave the brakes well alone for a good few minutes i.e. don't apply the brakes again for 3-5 minutes.

    Thats not a brake problem, its an operator problem. Youll figure it out...
