The tender was designed for a Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 52 condensing locomotive.
It was modified slightly and was equipped with a pair of Buckeye three-axle bogies instead of the German arrangement of one six-wheeled and one four-wheeled bogie.
It had an 11 long tons (11.2 tonnes) coal capacity, a 3,900 imperial gallons (17,700 litres; 4,680 US gallons) water capacity which included the underbelly condensate tank, and a 13 long tons 17 hundredweight 3 quarters (14,110 kilograms) maximum axle load.
The tender was capable of condensing 27,000 pounds (12,000 kilograms) of exhaust steam per hour in maximum operating temperatures of between 100 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (38 and 43 degrees Celsius).
The tender had six large radiators on each side, cooled by three exhaust steam-driven roof-mounted fans which drew air from outside through the radiators.
