    I really like how the automatic airbrake is made by the devs. You can literally drive air and vacuum condition by the br manual.

    I tried to simulate a scenario, where i need to tow a failed locomotive. Actually this worked well except with the locomotives, where the compressor is engine driven.

    If the failed train is airbraked there was no problem, because main reservoir pipe (mrp), and air brake pipe (a.b.p) was connected.

    Now if the failed train is vacuum braked the brakes are working correctly until the point the main reservoir gets low pressure on the failed locomotive.

    According to the br manual in this case the vacuum and main reservoir pipe has to be connected between the failed and assisting dual locomotives. So the main reservoir would be pressurized by the assisting loco. (like in air braked condition)

    So my point, is there any way to connect the yellow hoses in tsw in combination of the vacuum hose? (between locomotives usually all hoses are connected, no matter train runs in vac or air condition)
