scale

Type: Decimal

Desc: Sets the scale for the given pressure values. This allows an engine asset to provide values in imperial units, and then rescale them to the expected SI units.

trainbrakepipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: brake pipe volume.

epreservoirpipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: For electro pneumatic braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

no3pipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: Independent brake pipe.

no4pipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: Bail pipe volume.

auxreservoir

Type: Decimal

Desc: Auxiliary reservoir volume.

autobrakecylinder

Type: Decimal

Desc: Brake cylinder volume.

vacuumbrakepipe

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

vacuumbrakereservoir

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

vacuumbrakecylinder

Type: Decimal

Desc: For vacuum braking - not currently in use, generally leave this setting.

mainreservoir

Type: Decimal

Desc: Main reservoir volume.

equaliser

Type: Decimal

Desc: Equalising reservoir volume.

independantbrakecylinder

Type: Decimal

Desc: Loco brake cylinder volume.
