Good night everybody!

I just need some information about this coach, I went crazy all over the internet trying to identify wich pipe is which in this coach. As far I've identified already 2 things:

From left to right, could you please help with with the other ones? I'd apreciate that very much indeed.

Cheers, Will.


P.S: If I miss something, please let me know.

They are both related to the air brake. One is the main reservoir pipe, the other is the air brake pipe.

So then it would look like this?

The Vacuum brake pipe (large one on the left) has nothing to do with the Air brake pipe or the Air system for the brakes . The 2 systems are completely different and in simple layman's terms the Vacuum sucks and the Air blows .
Both sets of pipes could be attached between dual braked vehicles but only one system would be in use at any one time . Swapping from one to the other would involve draining the redundant system by pulling the strings on each vehicle to ensure there was no trapped air in the Air system or Vacuum remaining in the vacuum system as this could cause dragging brakes .

So, just to finish this, at the end it should look like this:
