The two cabs, one being set at either end of the locomotive, were largely identical in design and configuration. They were constructed by combining an aluminium outer shell and interior walls with a timber layer sandwidged between. Access to the power compartment was achieved via a centrally-mounted door in the rear bulkhead behind the driver's position. The driver's position is outfitted with a pre-fabricated control unit that featured the majority of controls, gauges, indicators, and instrumentation required. Excellent external visibility was provided via relatively wide forward and side cabin windows; both wipers and electrically-powered demisting apparatus were also installed upon the forward windows. Various measures for operator comfort were also included, such as an upholstered adjustable seat for the drive, numerous heating units, and a compact cooker for traincrews to prepare meals upon.
