Close-up of the commemorative headboard at this end of the train.

 

The headlights are angled in such a way that they remain flat against the slightly protruding front of the cab.

 

The hydraulic "Dutch Oven" Wedgelock coupler.

Another view of the coupler.

 

Originally, the trains were only supplied with a single windscreen wiper that rotated through 90 degrees on the driver"s window. The pivot was located just above the top-right corner of this window. The filled-in hole that was left when the double (and significantly more effective) wipers were added can still be seen.

 

Various isolating cocks surrounded the left-hand tail light, with the Tripcock Isolating Cock (sometimes accompanied with the abbreviation "TCIC") being uppermost.
