Comment 20 for bug 1391449

Hi Dennis,That's it, mate!As soon as the brakes are released, using the ; key, the pressure starts building straight-away and the loco moves after a few seconds - no need to initialise the brakes.
I'll see if I can find any other locos which also use the small injector to release the brakes, give them a test and report back to you.In the meantime, well done :)
Regards,Ged

> Bug description:
> Hi,
> In accordance with real-life practice, many MSTS models of steam locos with a Great Western Railway origin require the Small Injector to be open in order to release the brakes. This is not, currently, included within Open Rails with the result that it not possible to satisfactorily drive these locos. I say "satisfactorily" because after a comparatively long time (2 minutes), the brakes do release. This is shown at the top left of the OR screen against the Train brake entry where, when the value of inHg reaches 19, the loco starts to move (the maximum for this value is 25, which was the standard pressure for GWR locos). Typically, MSTS takes just over 1 second to release the brakes once the Small Injector is opened. When running in MSTS, the Small Injector is closed to conserve steam; the brakes can be applied normally when it is closed.
