Hi Earl, You mentioned running live steam on 8% grades using R/C. How to you run down an 8% grade without the train accellerating beyond control? My 6% grade needs brakemen. I have wondered if there is a brake system for live steam engines, rather than a brake van. Either way I suppose some custom construction is required. I haven't seen any commercial brake systems. So what do you use and/or do to control descent?
