Thirty-two locomotives were rebuilt by William Adams between 1886 and 1894; they received new boilers and standard fittings.

Seven locomotives were withdrawn between 1889 and 1893; this included four locomotives that had been rebuilt. The remaining 29 locomotives were placed on the duplicate list between 1894 and 1902. Withdrawals recommenced in 1903, and by the end of 1922, only fifteen remained in service to pass to the Southern Railway at grouping. These were all withdrawn by the end of 1925; all were scrapped.
