Brake Van
Description
[edit | edit source]The Brake Van is Rolling Stock wagon that has no profitable use.
Despite being designated as a brake van, its brakes are no stronger than any other wagon equipped with a handbrake, and its handbrake is uniquely difficult to get to, being hidden behind one of its step rails. It also cannot be remotely operated, so the player must run to the rear of their train to set the handbrake. As a result, it is completely useless as an actual brake van. It is mainly used as decoration or for realism by most players if their railroad even has one at all.
Trivia
[edit | edit source]- As per its name, it has a handbrake beside the front left wheel that can be toggled by the player by clicking anywhere along its handle.
- It was originally able to hold 4 Cattle, but this was patched in a later update.
- The Brake Van can be used to employ the Player Engine (P-Engine) glitch.
- It is one of 7 paintable Rolling Stock alongside the 8 Ton Ore Hopper, 14 Ton Open Wagon, 16 Ton Tank Wagon, 20' Passenger Wagon, 18 Ton Covered Van, and 20t Hopper Wagon.
- As it is meant to be at the end of a train, the Brake Van is equipped with four lamps, two on each end.
