Why do I wonder............?
@bevans VLocities had to be towed between the city and the Bombardier plant in Dandenong.
Still no one knows (or is saying) re the braking of loco hauled Vlocitys.If it is anything like "other" railcars....Use a transition coupler, reduce the loco BPP setpoint to whatever the V/Locity uses, do not bail off, do not use dynamic brake.

Thanks KR - might well be the case.Still no one knows (or is saying) re the braking of loco hauled Vlocitys.If it is anything like "other" railcars....Use a transition coupler, reduce the loco BPP setpoint to whatever the V/Locity uses, do not bail off, do not use dynamic brake.

As for setting up the V/Locity airbrake equipment - indeed if any setup is required at all - might be as simple as draining the MR and cutting-in the DED if fitted.
When we towed a set of NSW suburban cars with an 81, all we did was couple up, reduce the BP to 425Kpa, conduct a continuity and off we went. Pans down and running off the battery meant there was no chance of carrying passengers, but it wasn't overly complicated.
Mike, are the Ballarat services still getting overloaded with Bacchus Marsh passengers, or have they learnt that it's better to get a seat on one of their own services and sit rather than stand on a Ballarat service ?
Hmm...proudly made in ChinaChina like most manufacturing countries makes both rubbish and excellent quality items. The reason why we see so much poor quality merchandise is that most people will INSIST on paying the cheapest price possible regardless and then whinge about the poor quality rather than purchase good quality items from the beginning. One sees this time and time again.![]()
