I don't think that's an example of British engineering, OP. I'm unable to say for sure one way or the other, though, because Google image search thinks this is a cylinder, because it is retarded.

Mechanical or pneumatic linkage.
They only need linking to the regulator, brake & reverser.
The other functions like injectors, fire, etc, are sorted by the fireman, and that can be achieved with bell signals or a telephone cord.

Don't even need to control the train brake, if the entire train is fitted for a pneumatic brake (be it vacuum or pressure), you can have multiple control valves in various points of the brake line along the length of the train (in fact that's what emergency brake in carriages usually is)

Easington Colliery aerial ropeway, which transported mine tailings to the sea where they were dumped and washed away. There were several of these operating in the mid-20th century, by the 80s they had all closed down and none remain.

I've always found the Snowdon Mountain Railway interesting, from the way they made the trains climb to how they accounted for the fact the trains would constantly be on a slope by making the boilers tilted forwars so the front wouldn't dry out

That's a Swiss engine.
The Snowdon mountain Railway hired in Swiss engineers and contractors for their knowledge.

You might be interested in the Paranapiacaba incline. A railway line built by the British in Brazil to get coffee from São Paulo in the 1800s. It was still using steam locomotives into the 1980s.
