The valve gear details include built up links having plates andend filling blocks of cast steel. Each link is supported by twolongitudinal cast steel bearers, which are bolted in front to theguide yoke and at the back to a cross tie, which also serves tosupport the reverse shaft bearing. The valve stem cross-headsare mounted on guides extending between the guide yoke andcylinders. The tender is constructed in accordance with the railroad com-panys standard, the frame being built up of 13 in. channels andis carried on arch bar trucks with cast steel bolsters.
