Boiler with three domes and mounted whistle, cab with cut-out windows, side water tanks, lamps and coupling hooks at front and rear. Played with, showing signs of age. The function of the locomotive has been tested and is given. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be entirely ruled out.

The T 800 is one of the pre-war designs of the 800 series and stood on the two-axle standard chassis it shared with the R 800, SLR 800 and RS 800. From 1950 the more prototypical TM 800 after Class 80 replaced it in the range. The externally accessible brush cover in the frame is a feature of this early design and allowed the carbon brushes to be changed without removing the body.
