Ian; I think it may be a case of all of the above, but more likely as pass
through steam lines.
Check this link out: http://www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/CPR_London/3002.htm
There are several more on Ray Kennedy's Old Time Trains website.

The mention of steam lines brings up a question or two.
WHY?
Were they to be used for heating the RDC, if the RDC was being used as a
regular coach and their engines were not running?
Were they in tended as a back up in case an RDC failed and had to be pulled
by a locomotive?
Were they pass through if there were cars behind the RDC in a train's
consist.
I would be very curious to know.
Thanks in advance.
