A similar spring design was fitted to the V2 2-6-2s after poor maintenance of their double swing link suspension mechanisms caused a series of derailments. The bogie design was similar to that of A1/1 Great Northern which was also being rebuilt at the same time.

With the bad experience of the K "River" class tanks the Southern had not designed any further tank locomotives except for the Z class 0-8-0 which was primarily a yard engine. However a 2-6-4 tank design was selected as suitable for this purpose and thus the tanks and bogies made surplus by the K class rebuilding could be re-used.
