The five vehicles of type V , from 1868 Vb old of the Grand Ducal Baden State Railway, were the first locomotives of the railway with coupled axles. The locomotives were named after the surnames of the scientists Galileo Galilei , Isaac Newton , Johannes Kepler , Pierre-Simon Laplace and François Marie Guyonneau de Pambour .

The machines were built for 1600 mm wide gauge with an inner frame, outer cylinder, inner control and overhanging standing boiler . The forked drive rod had the so-called scissor arrangement and was unusually long at 3.1 m. The drive was on the rear axle, a design that was otherwise only found in Austrian locomotives. Due to this design, damage was found to two locomotives within three weeks. For this reason, the drive of the Kepler locomotive was converted to the front axle and the axles were replaced. Since there was no further damage, this one-time conversion was left.

The locomotives had a jacket chimney with a turbine due to the wood firing. This was misshapen and poorly constructed, so that it kinked when a locomotive drove on a turnout curve.

The locomotive was able to pull 368 t on a track with a slope of 1: 300 at a speed of 31 km / h.

When the gauge was changed to standard gauge in 1854, the machines were converted to the 1A1 wheel arrangement and received an outer frame so that the existing boiler could continue to be used. The vehicles had a Tender of type 3 T 5.40.

The locomotives, which are based in Basel and Freiburg, were used in southern Baden.
