Dear railway friends!
When connecting the brake hoses, I often find that the air pressure, which should actually rise to 5 bar, only rises to around 4.3 bar, which means that the brakes of the coupled train are not fully released and I therefore cannot drive off.
Does anyone know why this could be? Could it be related to the fact that some rolling stock has single-release and some multi-release brakes?
I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Germany there is unfortunately still some rolling stock with single-release brakes, even though it originally had multi-release brakes.
Thank you in advance for Your answers.
