During the 1956 Israeli invasion of Sinai five members of the class were captured on the former Palestine Railways main line between El Kantara East and Gaza: numbers 546, 550 and 557 (NBL works numbers 23683, 23687 and 23714) and numbers 607 and 613 (Borsig works numbers 13985 and 13991). Israel Railways may have taken four of them into stock and used them around Lod in central Israel for one or two years. They were withdrawn and scrapped by 1959, when steam traction on Israel Railways officially ceased.
