 The NSR introduced bogie stock to this route in 1906, resulting in much heavier trains.In LMS days the class received the usual substitution of Ramsbottom safety valves for Ross-pop, and also the addition of an extra small spectacle plate on each side of the cab front.The Livery of the G Class was the NSR's Madder lake with straw lining, and NORTH STAFFORD lettering on the tender along with the company crest.
