Hopefully an ex employee or enthusiast can help me with a small quandry?

I can identify Blue Star control cable on loco fronts, along with the vacuum pipe and such as in this picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Multiple_working_equipment_on_40135.jpg along with ETH jumpers on other locos.

What I'm stuck on are the other 2 pairs of pipes with the circular connections, one pair yellow, the other red. Can anyone tell me what these are please?
 
Thanks Fran but I think I'm still missing somethine there. If I go left to right on the picture linked above, I get the following.

Unknown, unknown, Bluestar socket, vacuum pipe, airbrake, unknown, Bluestar cable, unknown, unknown. Cable spaghetti.
 
1's possibly the steam heating pipe, below the red ended air brake. If fitted you might find an ETH jumper cable.
 
Left to right is as follows.

Engine Control pipe
Main Reservoir pipe
Multiple control socket
Vacuum pipe
Coupler
Air brake
Steam heat
Main reservoir pipe
Engine control pipe
Multiple control cable

The engine control pipe and main reservoir pipes are part of the blue star multiple system.
