Dave Nelson
I’m trying to find out what the air volume was for a typical KC brake reservoir. Anyone know?

K (and the predecessor H) brakes came in several sizes (K-1 through K-4)... K-1 being the smallest... They will have different sizes of cylinders (pistons) and reservoirs. This is independent of KC (K connected) or KD (K disconnected) which use the same size cylinders and reservoirs for each size...

Thank you Guy, that's exactly what I was looking for.

FWIW in rail sims one does need to provide the correct data so the software can calculate the amount of brake force applied to the wheel rim on a speed curve. It's all rather different than working w/ HO models, especially when you cannot find the correct answer. Thanks again! Dave Nelson.
