These variations include standard lamp irons, a straight strap smokebox door, and a PKP air pump with a short smokebox handrail. The model also features stepped running boards on the right-hand side, a right-hand drive with a screw reverser and original pattern firehole door, and cab rear shutters. The tender has lockers and coal space storage, and the model includes an ejector fitted to the right-hand side of the smokebox and a boiler-mounted ejector pipe. Additionally, the model features alternate piston valve covers.
