    Hi guys,

    as the title states, there's always 0.3 PSI left and I can't fully release the brakes. Can drive though but feels "rocky" when just coasting.

    I think I miss something, right?

    The brake valve in both locomotives in a pair on OSD seems to be set to "Lead or Dead" by default, try setting the trailing loco to Trail 26, that might help.

    You are right, the 2nd loco was all wrong but even then I can't get it right :)

    Ok guys, it's the same when the loco is single or uncoupled from everything. I'm not sure if I miss something here since I couldn't find it with the forum search and noone else seems to have this issue ...

    Baling off doesn't void it?

    No I even kept bailing off (you mean using the loco break, right?) for like 20 seconds, there is always 0,3 left. No compressor running, no hissing.
    I think I'll record a short video, or, before doing that, check the loco tutorial again and see if it's the same there, too

    TBH, I wouldn't worry about 0.3 psi (probably within the range of sensor error). It certainly isn't going to affect those brawny diesels.

    Sorry for the late response, it happened I played wayyy too much CRR since Thursday ;-)

    The CRR SD40 (0.2-04 PSI) does the same so I settle this case and don't worry about it

    I believe Matt mentioned in the latest CRR stream that it's just a visual problem. The HUD indicator has some kind of 'minimum step' it can show, so 0.3 PSI is the last recorded value before the cylinder pressure dropped to zero.
