On nationalisation in 1948, British Railways (BR) received 320 G2As, thus making them the largest ex-LNWR class received by BR.

7F built for SDJR in 1914 Midland Compound introduced in 1905 was used for the boiler design for the 7F for the SDJR. In 1876 the Midland Railway (MR) and the London & South Western Railway combined forces to rescue the financially ailing Somerset & Dorset Railway.
