Fitted with an oil tank from 1970-2013 when the locomotive was oil fired. A removable tender cab was constructed in 1999/1991 though it is not clear how much this is used. Tender requires extensive rebuilding during next overhaul. Tender sides and rear likely to be retained but the remainder of the tender will be replaced.
