description

These peat-fired machines were the first locomotives delivered by Krauss to the state railway in Bavaria . They resembled the vehicles with axle formula  B of the Grand Ducal Oldenburg State Railways . They were equipped with a water tank frame and an all-control system with an external cylinder. They were rebuilt once in their short career, with the boiler overpressure being changed. The locomotive, disreputed by the staff as Böse Sieben , was retired in 1877 after nine years in service. They were with a Tender equipped to type bay 3 T 6.7.
