Freighttrains and braking trains

[wallyweb]

Think of it this way ... With the BA you can write that great book that lurks somewhere within you.
With Quantum Mechanics, you can get immediate distribution on the far side of the universe even as you write it.

Its called "tradition". Or "pretentiousness".

Oxford sucks.

Cambridge sucks even more.

This from someone tipped for Oxford 5 years ago.

Cam is great actually Unfortunately not much time for TT-ingn here though

ANYWAYS!!!

we are trying to figure out to include what??

Steep slopes.....
run-away train....
Big loud BOOM....

TOO MUCH....

anyways theres something called Engine braking
Usually if a train can pull/push something, it can do the opposite with a few gears.
I.E.
3 gears, First one is going clockwise, Second is anti-clockwise, Therefore the third is clockwise.
NOW TO REVERSE IT. 2 solutions
1. Add another gear in the formula
2. Turn the first gear the other way round ^^




Now where was i?
Engine Reversing/Braking/(Reverse-Calibration??). NO NEED FOR BRAKING TRAINS!!

Most engines I'm aware of would shred themselves, the engineer, and probably the next three cars, if someone tried that trick.

Engine braking is something entirely different.

Just a note, can you lose the red from your signature please? It hurts the eyes more than this Christmas theme.

And most railway locomotives can't use engine braking anyway, because they have electric transmissions rather than mechanical ones...

And most railway locomotives know when to start slowing down!
