Airbrakes
Anyone know which airbrakes the class 32 diesels are fitted with? Is it 26L or B7EL?

Dylan, 26LA if I'm correct.

Re: Airbrakes
Barned, please tell us all what is the difference between the two types of air-brake systems!
Sorry, I not much of a diesel fan, but would like to know!
Thank you!

Re: Airbrakes
The Australian Westinghouse B7EL and A7EL systems are older generation systems that saw their existence before the Westinghouse 26(L)A types which originates from the US. A lot of information is available on air brakes in general but when it comes to the individual systems it becomes difficult to find any conclusive information.

Re: Airbrakes
So 26L and 26LA are compatible?
