Dynamic brake problem
Author: WrongWayMurphy

A live steam track near Dallas that I frequent has a new water tank, thanks to one of the members..
Here I am using it to cool down the dynamic brakes on my geep. I don't understand why but they didn't
work after cooling them down. Probably just a glitch.

Its probably because of the Blue-green chemical jello you drowned it with. Heck "dismals" (diesels in your language) are fragile. I'm sure you won't mind buying a new dynamic brake grid, fan, and wiring, can't be much more than 5 G's. LOL

Probably should throw a lit fusee in there to re-start the fire. I'm sure it'll be OK!

Because you were supposed to put the spout in the hogheads window.

Most likely sediment buildup in the dynamic brake flues.

It's not water it needs, it's dynamic brake fluid! Couple quarts should do the trick.

He's just pulling your chain.  Look at the color of that stuff.  It's actually muffler bearing lube.

Make sure they top off your headlight fluid too.
