It may be obvious to those in the know! But I wondered if it is possible to test vaccum brakes on compressed air? As opposed to steam in the ejector Any help most gratefully received

Greetings, yes just connect the air to the steam line of the ejector, and you will get a useable vacuum.

I have applied the air through the safety valve bush, with a suitable connector.

regards
