Boiler feed is by an injector, the locomotive is also piped up with a high pressure connector for - as the previous owner used - a hand or electric pump carried in a driving truck.

The engine is fitted with a front derailing bar and vacuum brake equipment, comprising steam valve, driver's brake valve, gauge and limiter.
