This bracket holds an air tank (modified CFH SF505 or similar), mounted on the right side under the cab, which serves as a reservoir (approximately one litre) for the train brake system. See also section Compressed Air Tank for more information about the tank itself.

It is made from 3 mm steel sheet and is mounted with the four screws of the reverser stand (which have to be replaced with slightly longer ones). The four slotted holes allow for some adjustment of the bracket, so the tank doesn’t unnecessarily touch the rear plate.

Notice, the bracket is not symmetrical: The recess in the right (front) flange allows fitting a pipe through, whereas the left (back) does not.
