Thanks very much for the latest comprehensive update. 
I’m fairly certain that the first photo was taken at Doncaster Works during acceptance testing.

Thanks Adam, sorry about the delay in thanking you too! Looks like not much of the pipe can be seen. That photo comes from an interesting set, great that things like that were captured.

Hello Adam.

I'm doing one of the vac braked versions using bits from vac rebody and a unfitted original body kits. I stumbled across your blog half way through - nice work.

I have a question re. the vacuum pipe run from one end to the other of the wagon - do you have any photos of what happens to this at the platform ends? I presume it just dives under to connect with the hose at the non cylinder end, and does this via the cylinder at the other. Paul Bartlett's excellent photos aren't much help with this (for a change).
