The tender has a hand brake fitted between the leg space - the tender is of a "mail line" design rather than the conventional narrow gauge type.
The engine has a cab with coal bunkers on either side of the steel boiler. It is fitted with twin injectors. The engine couplings are of the buck-eye type and are fitted with removable pins. The frames are fitted with removable plates under the smokebox and the rear of the firebox to bolt the engine to a trailer for transportation. The regulator is of the "built-in" type fitted directly to the backhead. The chimney is removable and is decorated with a brass cap.
The engine has other distinguishing markings.
