The S76 brake was designed to stop a railway engine whereas the 155 brake previously saw service on the Tour de France!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 76 brake is a multi piston hydraulic unit whereas the 155 is a pure mechanical effort with total pressure controlled by a spring pack.
See picture on previous post.

The 76 brake disc is probably 3 times as thick as the 155 disc.
