The design was not successful and the locomotives were withdrawn by 1867. It would later be used on the Royal Bavarian State Railways ML 2/2 class of 1906, which were much more numerous and successful. The Mount Washington Cog Railway has eight 0-2-2-0's and only two are in working order, with three in storage and the remainder on display.
By 1840 the 2-2-0 tender type had largely been superseded by the 2-2-2 configuration. However, there are a few examples of later tank engines , thus William Bridges Adams of the Fairfield Locomotive Works ( 51°31′52″N 0°01′19″W / 51.5312°N 0.0219°W / 51.5312; -0.0219 ) in Bow supplied a 2-2-0 well tank to the Roman ...
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 2-2-2-0 usually represents the wheel arrangement of two leading wheels on one axle, four powered but uncoupled driving wheels on two axles, and no trailing wheels, but can also be used to represent two sets of leading wheels (not in a bogie truck) two driving wheels, and no trailing wheels.
The London and Greenwich Railway began a public service on the 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 miles (4.0 km) section between Spa Road and Deptford in February 1836. [25] Locomotives in use at this point were two Planet type of the 2-2-0 configuration. Royal William was supplied by William Marshall & Sons.

Railmotor with 0-2-2 locomotive unit c.1905. In the early 20th Century a number of railmotors were built by various railway companies in the UK where the locomotive section had an 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, but they were designed to operate semi-permanently coupled to a coach unit. The LSWR C14 class used a similar layout, but reversed as a 2-2-0 T.
Ernest Ahrons noted that the purpose of the 0-6-2 T design was to provide additional coal and water compared to a 0-6-0 T. He dismisses the idea the design improves the curving properties of the locomotive, said this only applies when running bunker first. When running chimney first additional force is placed on the leading outward wheel flange.
A later Locomotive BASIC was BASIC2 for Digital Research's GEM graphical user interface, as supplied with the Amstrad PC1512 and PC1640 range of PC clones. The company also developed the LocoScript word processor for the PCW, which was a complete bootable environment in its own right with no separate underlying operating system . [ 3 ]
