I am building a 5 inch gauge GWR Manor and have spent some time over Christmas researching vacuum brakes, starting from very little knowledge.

I have found mention of an article by Bob Bramson entitled "Braking for Model Engineers" but cannot find a citation. Is anyone able to help me?

I'd also be pleased to hear about any other material which may assist or general advice as to suppliers of an appropriate brake valve (I am aware that Manors had single cone ejectors integral to the driver's brake valve) or any snags I am likely to encounter

Many thanks.
