Mike 84C Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Did each bogie have a brake cylinder or were both bogies braked from one cylinder? difficult to tell from the photos I have. Thanks for any advice. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jhb171achill Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure myself. At least one RPSI carriage maintenance person posts here and might know, as the society has one Bredin.

0 Mayner Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) The drawing for the BSSGV shows two brake cylinders, the Bredins are likely to have had the same arrangement. Edited February 10, 2016 by Mayner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BSGSV Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'm not aware of any bogie vehicle that didn't have brake cylinders for each bogie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jhb171achill Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Come to think of it, bsgsv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mike 84C Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks for for all the help and comment guys and Mayner the drawing explains all thank you. Its easy to make assumptions about fittings etc; which I often do and am proved wrong! I asked because for a number of years I worked under 1'11 3/4" gauge carriages, all only had one cylnder and some very ingenious pullrods to make it all work! I know, 20 mph narrow gauge but its worth knowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lough Erne Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 For interest, the majority of vehicles had one cylinder per bogie, however it is not unknown for some vehicles to have 2 per bogie, just to make the life of the person overhauling the cylinders that bit more awkward.
