The construction is of the articulated-trucktype, the trucks being connected by means of a buffercoupling arranged for lateral movement with verticalrigidity. The trucks are held together by a drawbarand spring, which can be adjusted for tension, butwhich cannot be subjected to excessive compression, asa portion of the coupling between trucks receives thebuffing stresses directly through the truck frames. Thecab is at the center of the engine, and sloping ends areprovided to contain the resistance, contactors, switchesand all high-tension electrical apparatus. The panto-graphs
