    Whilst driving the 506 on Woodhead if the emergency brake is used the brake pressure drops so low I cannot restart the loco. Even if I reset everything it still remains too low a pressure to restart the loco. Any suggestions??

    You should not have any need to use the emergency brake

    Are you trying to create Brake Pipe Pressure before the Main Res Pipe has fully recharged?

    Somebody on UKTS might know the answer.
