Close coupling between locomotive and tender; steam lines can swing out with the cylinders. Separately applied metal grab irons. Many separately applied details.

Important information about the operation of this locomotive:
This locomotive can be used on curved track with a minimum radius of 360
mm / 14-3/16", but we recommend larger radius curves. Due to the overhang
of this locomotive's long boiler, signals, catenary masts, bridge railings,
tunnel portals, etc. must be set out further from the curved track for
clearance. The track must be well mounted for the high weight of the locomotive.
