A Main Reservoir Pipe (MRP) to supply air along the train, and a Brake Pipe (BP) to control the brakes. Some rolling stock however uses only a 'single-pipe' system where the Brake Pipe (BP) is also used to feed air along the train as well as control the brakes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis set of brake pipes is enough for both ends of two (2) wagons, the UNPAINTED pack includes:-\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e4 - Air Brake Pipes (BP)\u003cbr\u003e4 - Main Reservoir Pipes (MRP)\u003cbr\u003e4 - Vacuum Hoses with Swan-neck and hose dummy bracket (VAC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor two-pipe system rolling stock, fit both the (BP) red and (MRP) yellow pipes.\u003cbr\u003eFor rolling stock with single pipe system, just fit the (BP) red-pipe.\u003cbr\u003eFor vacuum braked rolling stock, fit just the vacuum pipe (the Swan-neck is normally painted red).\u003cbr\u003eFor dual braked rolling stock fit all the pipes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome unbraked wagons are fitted with a 'through' vacuum pipe, in which case fit the vac pipes but paint the swan neck white.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNote these parts are delicate and may not be suitable for use with couplings fitted, especially on tighter radius curves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pipes have a 0.7mm peg that can be fitted into a drilled hole in the buffer beam, alternatively the peg can be cut-off and the pipe attached with a small amount of adhesive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pipes are supplied \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eunpainted\u003c\/span\u003e, please refer to the pictures for typical colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTop-Tip - use a light coat of white primer first, and paint the pipes before removing them from the sprue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(SET Number 10 for Wagons)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Hill Wagon Works","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55628913213815,"sku":"4WH0801210","price":3.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/4175\/2439\/files\/2032.jpg?v=1755614778","url":"https:\/\/www.whww.co.uk\/products\/detailed-brake-pipes-for-wagons-air-and-vacuum-oo-gauge-for-2-wagons-set-10","provider":"West Hill Wagon Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
