Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful is the Kiha40?

The Kiha40 is powered by an inline 6-cylinder DMF15HSA diesel engine outputting 220 horsepower, the power performance of Kiha 40 is far from powerful, making it challenging to drive on the slopes. Please keep an eye on the gradients to maintain your speed.

How do I operate the brakes on the Kiha40?

Kiha 40 comes with a manual-lapped automatic air brake system. The system applies brake by reducing the brake pipe pressure, and releases brake by increasing the brake pipe pressure. When you first start out you will find yourself feathering the brake between Apply and Lap to stop accurately. You may need to release some pressure if you find yourself stopping to quickly.
 

Brake handle notches:

• Release: Release the brake of the whole train.
• Hold: When you drive a train with more than 1 cars, set the
  brake handle to Hold position will keep the brake force of the
  first car and release the brake on other cars.

  the brake handle.
