Rebuilt to 0-4-4T
Locomotive Magazine, December 1910

Under Tom Hurry Riches, four of these locomotives were rebuilt to passenger tank locomotives with the wheel arrangement 0-4-4T. This conversion resulted from the elimination of the third driving axle, the installation of coal and water tanks and the addition of a trailing bogie.
