The first C II were experimentally manufactured as a support tender locomotive . One took up an idea that was developed by Wilhelm von Engerth (see Engerth locomotive ). The long boiler was supported by the tender . However, since the machines did not run smoothly, they were rebuilt around 1870. First, the support tender was removed and, in order to compensate for the uneven load on the axles, the first axle was decoupled, so that the locomotives ran as 1B from then on. When the boilers had to be replaced after a few years, they were moved forward for better weight distribution. The former support tender locomotives were thus adapted to the C II of the normal design and thus became C couplers again.

These locomotives were needed for the increasing freight traffic. They emerged from the C I series. The C II received external frames, horizontal external cylinders, long neck cranks and an internal Stephenson control. The transition between the long and standing cup was tapered so that it could be fitted between the rear axle. Instead of a driver's cab , the locomotives were initially given a weather screen, similar to what motorcycles have today. Retirement began in 1891 and was completed in 1906. One example that survived as a wash locomotive until the end of the First World War was donated to Belgium as a ceasefire tax . They were with a Tender equipped to type 2 T 9.25.
