Could someone please tell me how easy or difficult it is to set up my loco to 
operate vacuum braked  rolling stock?  At the moment I have to use the 
mechanical brake on the driving trolley but I will soon have the option of 
using 
some vacuum braked stock.  Do I just need an extra steam valve and if so what 
steam pressure is needed, if I lose pressure will it still work? or how do I 
create the vacuum?
Thanks
Garry
