Fine detailed cab incorporating pressure gauges, regulator, reverser, twin water sight gauges, brake, injector, blower, whistle, soot blower and continuous blowdown controls, oak seats, wooden floor, doors and three part fall-plate. The cab interior painted in black and white, woodwork having grained finish.
