Where is everyone #5

Awe how cute. A baby. Good thing you didn't show our full grown ones. Carrying off a small child.

 

That’s one advantage with a set of trains. There’s really no blind side when you’re backing them. Moving the truck around steering them you can usually see where you’re going.

 

They will(or used to) sell you a rebuild kit of spools,o-rings and solenoids and I think in the late 90's the kits were $175 per rack for the B model and they claimed a 10% increase over stock braking.
If you want a complete new pacbrake set then yes they are not cheap but I am surprised at 5 figures

 

Apparently they just sell some of the parts but individually, no kit anymore and none of the parts the guy needs.

I think they're slowly squeezing out the old iron.

 

Shouldn't we all be so blessed..? lol

 

Gonna be a long weekend

 

It was ok. 21oz was just right!

 

Drove trucks with pacbrakes years ago, they work, but not as impressive to me as a regular Jacob can be….

 

On a Cummins maybe. On a Cat a Jake did about the same as sticking your hat out the window. A Jake on a 3406B with a Blue Ox exhaust brake on there with it wouldn’t hold with a PacBrake on one.

 

Just idle all weekend that’s about all you can do.
