Sorry mate but you don't know what you are talking about! Even the latest
30CDW braking system on the 82 and 90 class has a dead engine device. If you
are a driver then god help us. If not, then listen to the professionals like
Tezza, he may crap on a bit but he does know how to drive a locomotive.
After all ,it is his job.
