There is no evidence that the original locomotive was fitted with brakes. The replica will be fitted with modern air-operated disc-brake system making extensive use of lorry braking system parts, mounted in an inconspicuous manner.<ref group="note">A number of other early locomotive replicas such as those on the Pockerley Waggonway at Beamish Museum use similar braking systems.</ref> Since returning from Holland, much of the work that has taken place has involved the brakes; the footplate railings have also been completed.  Work was brought to a halt in early 2020 by the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic | coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic]] but has restarted in 2021. The Catch Me Who Can [http://www.catchmewhocan.org.uk/news.html news page] has many pictures of progress since 2010.
The locomotive's tractive effort is is 650 lbf. It has a 7" bore single cylinder with a 30" stroke, 48" wheels and 50 psi working boiler pressure.
