“A "passenger/goods" cock is provided in each cab, by which, when placed in the "goods" position, the normal proportional brake application is slowed down. This is for use⟳ when hauling an unbraked or partially braked train⟳, and prevents the unbraked stock⟳ from running into the locomotive or braked portion of the train⟳ with violence.”

“The Modernisation Plan⟳ of 1955 forecast the brake-fitting of all goods wagons; but the majority of mineral wagons remain⟳ loose-coupled and unbraked and a four-axle locomotive of Type⟳ 3 or 4 power is, therefore, unsuitable for heavy mineral work⟳ - without a fitted "head" on the train⟳ - because of inadequate braking power.”
