To avoid complication which might be associated with dual system of braking it was decided to employ vacuum brakes on Co-Co diesel electric locomotives built for Malayan Railways; features include six horizontal rolling ring type brake cylinders of 14 in. diam on each truck; adequate braking by 12 brake cyl, augmented vacuum system, and two Northey 90 RE rotary exhausters.
