Data from Data from "Two-Foot Gauge Locomotive for India," Engineer, Volume 153, No 6 (5 February 1932), pp. 164-165.
Engineer's report said that four of the eight passenger engines in this order were headed for the Ujain Agar Railways section of the Gwalior. Leading bogie and trailing truck wheels were fitted with Cortazzi axle boxes and all had prominent outside bearings. A double plate frame held the coupled drivers. Just behind the steam dome and ahead of the prominent Belpaire firebox, a "Filtrator" containing linseeds. Entering steam absorbed the starch from the linseed and, after reentering the boiler, deposited the starch on scale particles to avoid a hard build up.
Engineer also commented that while the Gwalior had other locomotives of a similar type, "these are the more completely modern in its possession."
Much later, two of the engines (works 2457 and 2460, road numbers 38 and 41) were bought from the Gwalior and returned to England. In 2018, they were listed as part of the Vale of Rheidol Railway's museum collection.
