This is the air pipe that runs down the one side of the bogie frame. The wire size I used to create this is 0.6mm. Reference to photos of your chosen loco are advisable, all 47s have the pipe but the route it takes along the bogie side and its shape can be slightly different. The pipe needs to be added at this stage because it runs underneath the tension springs at each end. While it is possible to thread it underneath the rear spring fitted in the last section it will be difficult to thread under both the front and rear springs. Don’t forget the small piece of pipe that joins this one to the white metal pipe in the middle of the bogie frame.
