Builders Plate of the YAM1. "The Japanese Group" Hitachi, Mitsubishi and Toshiba. Year of Manufacture - 1964.

This is the Assemblers Plate. Assembled by Mitsubishi.

Technical details of the crane.

The pantos, cow catcher etc. to be added. Lot of work required in re-painting and making this loco appear ok.

Another view of the Road Number and the Builder's plate.

This is the view from the Loco Pilot's seat.

This is the Assistant Loco Pilot's view.

The Dashboard of the YAM1. I tried to close the DJ but sadly, it did'nt. The lower set of switches were broken from inside.

The speedo had an unique setting for speed restriction. "G" for 50 kmph for Goods and "P" for 75 kmph for Passenger.

It was dust and dirt all around. This requies thorough cleaning.

Inside the cab. View from the assistant's seat.

The switches control inside the cab. Experts throw some light on the switches.
