Until the 1960s the majority of BR locomotives had provision only for Vacuum Train brakes. From the early 1960s the standard air brake system was introduced, therefore it was common to see locos and rolling stock dual braked (i.e. fitted with both vacuum and air brakes). The use of vacuum brakes on BR was phased out during the 1980s. 

For dual braked locos, fit the air brake and vacuum brake pipes.
For vacuum only braked locos, fit just the vacuum brake pipes.
For train heating boiler fitted locos, fit the steam heat pipes.

Notes:-

• There were many variations between members of the Class 40 fleet in pipe configurations, fitting and placement; therefore it is recommended to refer to photographs of the real thing when fitting these parts.
• Please refer to the attached pipes and cables guide documents.
• 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.
