Title: Need help to find a copy of original MCI-8 or 9 air line diagram
Post by: Sojourner on September 12, 2008, 07:58:15 AM
Hi all:
I need (for others too) a good clear copy of MCI -8 or 9 air line diagram to finish my bus as well redraw it in cad file for bus nuts.

I cannot read my recopy version. See my picture.

The redraw version will be what we need for busconversion, less all the extras and update version for dual air brake control.

Thanks, Gerald

Since you are starting from scratch, why not use the Bendix plumbing one the diagrams in the Air Brake Handbook?

It is a good reference manual that folks should have.

I would use one of the diagrams for the air brake (think they have DD3 in there) and then add the specific bus related circuits if you have any.
