Both classes were initially used as branchline locos in the west (based at Alpha) and southwest (based at Roma) of the state, as well as for shunting around the state. Soon afterwards, all the 1600s were based at Alpha. The 1620s followed on from the success of the 1600s, and were used in the central and northern areas of Qld. In recent times, they have become surplus, with most being scrapped. Some have been sold to John Holland for use in the Philippines, while a couple of others were on loan to MIM for a while.
