The small 5 ft 2 in (1.575 m) driving wheels limited their maximum speed, but were ideal for accelerating from rest or on gradients, such as the London suburban area. [5] Coal and water consumption were lower than that of other locomotives, and it was also capable of pulling greater loads.
The 2361 Class is sometimes described, erroneously, as the "outside-framed version of the Dean Goods".While there is a superficial resemblance above the running plate, with the 2361s having 5 ft 2 in (1.575 m) diameter wheels and numbered in the same sequence, they are ultimately a separate class.
