When introduced they were painted royal blue and lined in yellow. Buffers and buffer beams and a band around the funnel was bright red. The blue paint was however found not to be durable and faded easily after a few years and was replaced with green, albeit of a lighter shade than the MGWR had used

In 1938 and 1945 all were based at Broadstone apart from No. 546 which was based at Cork. Reports in 1948 indicated they were unreliable and only capable of hauling up to 150 tons. There high axle load limited them from most branch lines and they were mostly used for auxiliary goods (freight) for

Although the design is attributed to Cusack it is generally understood Morton, at that stage fourth in line, likely did most of the detailed design work. These were the first Broadstone locomotives to be built with a

The resulting locomotives were reclassified as 1370: 1261: 2627: 2443: 814: 747:. Rebuilds increased locomotive weight with the maximum axle loading going up towards 19 long tons (19 t). 1797: 468: 74: 543:.
