The Pt 2/3 type stood out among the light tender locomotives used for passenger service. Characteristic features included its slender boiler, the wide spacing between the leading axle and the coupled wheels (a remarkable 4000 mm!), and the relatively spacious driver’s cab. A door at the rear of the locomotive also allowed the fireman to enter the train to assume the conductor’s duties when needed.
The Bavarian State Railway put the first locomotives into service in 1909, the last in 1916. All locomotives (type 1 B h2, maximum speed 65 km/h) were supplied by Krauss in Munich.
