Thank you, Phil for the comment.dundun --
That's good. But not quite right. A good diagrammatic is in Wikipedia, here:

The Eccentric Rod makes the Link rock backwards and forwards, and this causes the Radius Bar to also move back and forth.
The Reverse Arm and Shaft lifts the Radius Bar within the slot in the Link. At full forward motion the Radius Bar is at the lowest point in the Link and the back and forth motion of the Radius Bar is at its maximum. This maximises the movement of the Valve Spindle, allowing the maximum amount of steam into the cylinders. As the Radius Bar is lifted within the slot the movement of the Radius Bar is reduced. This is the "cut off". At full reverse the Radius Bar is at the top.
Ben Neal managed to get this just right in his locomotives. To see it in action download, for example, his Baldwin 2-6-0 Mogul. "Loco Baldwin 2-6-0" on the Download Station works error free in T:ANE and TRS19, and shows the valve gear to perfection.

There's also an infinite number of youtube videos, for example:

Been doing some work with smoothing groups. Definitely makes a difference.
Hi Ben!!! :wave:
Interesting. Thanks for the info. Hope I can implement this into Trainz soon...A UK wagon, nice change of pace there
I tried something similar a while back, it might be put to good use with Rileyzzz’s compressing buffer script.

Tony Hilliam mentioned a physics API, hopefully we can script handbrakes and their resistive forces (and perhaps even some vacuum brake simulations) to put something like this to use.
