SME (sometimes also called SEM) Brake System
3222+
--------------------------------------------
3223+
3224+
SME braking is a straight air-brake system having an automatic emergency feature by means of which the simplicity of the straight air brake
3225+
is retained for service operation, but it also has the additional protection afforded by the automatic application of the brake in
3226+
case of a break-in-two or the bursting of a hose. SME braking is typically used on short DMU rail sets. SME braking is a form of electro-pneumatic (EP)
3227+
brake system, however EP and SME equipped cars cannot be mixed together in the same consist.
3228+
3229+
To activate SME braking, set ``BrakeSystemType ( SME )``.
3230+
3231+
The following brake tokens can be used with it:
3232+
``TrainBrakesControllerSMEOnlyStart``
3233+
``TrainBrakesControllerSMEFullServiceStart``
3234+
``TrainBrakesControllerSMEHoldStart``
3235+
``TrainBrakesControllerSMEReleaseStart``
