Hi Peter,
As for the green cars having track brakes as well, yes! I am the first to
agree that, a W driven properly can stop in the same distance as a modern
car by using 4th emergency, remembering, a W does'nt travel as fast as a
modern car either but, in our type of operation, high speed is of less
importance than scheduled speed.
