Cab interior in 2018

The driving wheels and rods. Notice the flangeless centre driver, and the very lengthy reach rod for the reversing gear.

The left hand side front end. Notice the unusual valve gear arrangement.

The left hand side rear end. Notice the very small trailing wheel - looks almost like an afterthought - perhaps a lengthened 4-6-0.

The original builder's plate - quite early for a British built Pacific.

The cab side plates - top one recording rebuilding by WAGR.
