Pipes on the smoke box front a Bulleid light pacific.

[N15class]

I have been looking at the details on the front end of the West Country class as built. There are what looks like two pipes running from the inside of the smoke deflectors down to the frames. I think these are oil pipes rather than electrcal conduits. But I cannot make out in the photos whether there is an oil feed box attached to the inside of the smoke deflector, ro whether they go into the casings.

I think I have all the conduits right but to me these are for oil as they run down hill all their length.

 

Thanks in advance Peter

Without being able to reference any publications at the moment I do believe they are oil lubricating pipes.
