I think they started the use of air braking in the uk.

I can assure STE it did happen it was diesel (not steam days) and all the locos were duel braked. Back at that time it was all vacuum and air was just coming in and a lot of air brake wagons had a vacuum blow through pipe fitted.
The only reason we did was one trip to Chacewater/Penzance instead of two trips
