Hi guys,and Colchesterken,putting wagon brakes down can be a work of art so to speak, i did this on a regular basis coming down Miles Platting bank,putting ones full weight on the brake stick is highly dangerous as one has to put your whole weight across the brake stick by being a sort of pendulum,i would put 6 down on the coal wagons,and the guard would do the same,at Manchester Vic the loco would have to drag the train clear of East Junctions stop and take them off again,then whistle the Bobby for right away.
