Sachin, nice capture of the past & the present loco. Zubin also nice to see you in action after a long time.

This is perhaps the only steam loco to be retro fitted with air brakes.

Thats the sight feed lubricator. The valves are used to control the number of oil drops per minute being fed to the moving parts. The drops can be seen throught the glass.

The regulator had a spring and slot arrangement and was unlike most regulators on steam locos.

The link that moves the slide valve was removed and the slide valve locked in a position so as to ensure that both front and rear ports of steam cylinder are open to exhaust / inlet to prevent any pressure from building up in the steam cylinders as this would result in a dynamic brake type of effect.
