They had outside frames for the six-coupled driving wheels but inside frames for the leading wheels. Initially, a distinctive visual feature was a large saddle-shaped sandbox over the first ring of the boiler. The class had two prototypes: No. 2601, which was a 4-6-0, while No. 2602 was a 2-6-0.

of the inside cylinders led to fractures of the solid crank axles. The class was thus short-lived, and most were withdrawn around 1906. Several of the boilers were converted for stationary use in Swindon Works at reduced pressure and remained in service there until the 1950s.

These were built in 1899, and Nos. 2603-2610 followed later up to 1903, all 2-6-0. Though Dean was officially still in charge,
