    That's very helpful. I'm trying to improve the Wikipedia article on air brakes - do you have any published books etc. that cover the same ground I could use as sources?

    General overviews of both mechanics and history. Searching "railway brake distributor valve" primarily brings up manufacturers' sites.

    Oil availability will be an issue in a few decades, though... A permanent solution is probably going to look more like biomass than oil.

    Air brake distributor valves

    I'm trying to find information on the distributor valves used in air brake systems. Most of what I can find is about the early "triple valve" form that IIRC was never used on British railways.
