JohnH Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I'm looking to fit cosmetic buffer beam air brake pipes (red cock) to my 4mm air braked freight stock. I'm planning to make up some jigs to help with bulk production and was wondering if there is a standard length of the air pipe or do they vary depending on the wagon type? I model BR in the 1980's and my stock includes OAA/OBA/OCA/SPA/CDA/HEA/HAA/BBA/BAA/BDA/VAA/VBA/VDA/VGA/OTA/etc. Many thanks as always for any help.

RMweb Gold The Johnster Posted April 12 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12 I think you mean the hose, John, the flexible bit, the pipe is the solid thing under the wagon. The length will vary according to the size of the buffer housings, but should not be long enough to drag on on the ground; photos are probably your best reference and I refer you to Paul Bartlett's website (HMRSPaul here), he is the NRM's head honcho wagons and has a comprehensive supply of suitable photographs of all the wagon types you describe and more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Yes I did mean the hose, the flexible bit. Thanks for the reply. I've got dozens of photos of my own showing the hoses and there seems to be quite a variation in length (although it's difficult to judge from some of the angles I've photographed). I just wondered if there was a 'standard' measurement. Thanks again. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
