Detailed Pipes and Cables for a Class 31/0 Locomotive - OO Gauge (SET 27)

Class 31/0 were the original batch of 20 pilot scheme locomotives (D5500-D5519), these differed from the rest of the Class 31 fleet as they were fitted with a non-standard Electro-Magnetic Multiple-Working system denoted by the red circles painted on the lower cab front.

These locomotives are referred to as 'Toffee Apples' due to the shape of the drivers control desk key; they were vacuum brake only fitted.

This set of brake pipes is enough for both ends of one Class 31/0 Locomotive, the UNPAINTED pack includes:-

2 - Vacuum Hoses with hose dummy bracket (VAC)
4 - Regulating Control Air Pipes (CA) - White
2 - Steam Heat Pipes (S/H)
2 - Electro-Magnetic Multiple-Working Jumper Cables (M/W) - Orange
2 - Electro-Magnetic Multiple-Working Jumper Receptacles (M/W) - Orange

Notes:-

• There were many variations between members of the Class 31/0 fleet in pipe configurations, fitting and placement; therefore it is recommended to refer to photographs of the real thing when fitting these parts.
• All 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.
• These parts are delicate and may not be suitable for use with couplings fitted, especially on tighter radius curves.
• The pipes are supplied unpainted, please refer to pictures for typical colours.
• Top-Tip - use a light coat of white primer first, and paint the pipes before removing them from the sprue.
