Operation    This locomotive used the 24rl type airbrake, 
it must be lapped manually. The brake guages are from 
left to right; Far left,Red needle=Main res. White 
Needle=EQ Res. Middle Gauge=Brake Pipe, Right 
Gauge=Locomotive Brake cylinder. The use of the 
Transition Lever is for controlling Dynamic Brakes only, 
I know there have been claims that Transition is 
supported in MSTS, THIS IS NOT TRUE. Transition is a 
function of changing the circuts to the traction motors 
to vary the amount of current. Changing transition 
allowed the Generator to stay within its optimal 
operating range as it supplied power to the traction motors. 
We could have enabled the transition lever but only as a 
mechanical transmission and its effects had a negative 
impact in the other functions of the locomotive. All F 
units built after November 1950 had a 3 relay automatic 
transition control. The lever was supplied only in the 
case that non-automatic transition units were in the consist.
