I hired out with Econorail here in Houston as their extraboard engineer covering this area. I've found that most, if not all of their locomotives are equipped with plastic brake handles, both auto and independant. Do the Class I roads use these pieces of junk? I've found that you lose a certain amount of feel when making small automatic applications, especially when making minimum reductions.
The independant handles don't move as well, and bail off is almost impossible due to the handle flex.
They're crap IMO -
ya'lls thoughts?
