Thor was never fitted with air brakes on his home railway where all trains were braked by hand until 1964!!

This braking equipment, which was fitted when the loco was acquired by museum railway SRJmf was apparently made under license in Russia - we're talking about early days of air brakes, long before the russian revolution. From what I know, that this particular pump was taken from a the TGOJ Y3a 25 standard gauge locomotive from 1908.
