In 1894–1895 these four locos were rebuilt under James Holden, the work including new boilers, steam brakes, and covered cabs.

[1] Two of these locomotives worked at Globe Road & Devonshire Street goods yards between 1874 and 1914.

The remaining four passed into London and North Eastern Railway ownership at the grouping in 1923.

The last member of the class left in service, 7230, was renumbered 8081 in 1944; and just survived into British Railways ownership in 1948 but was scrapped early that year before it could receive its BR number.

It was moved to a site near Lydney, Gloucestershire, as a static display awaiting restoration to working order in 2012.
