The steam locomotive of the class Pt 2/5 H of the Royal Bavarian State Railroad was built by the Krauss company for the Nuremberg trade fair in 1906 as a superheated steam version of the Bavarian D XII . In addition to the superheater , the boiler position had been raised, the firebox made deeper and the cylinder diameter enlarged. Since the locomotive with only two coupling axles could no longer meet the performance requirements of those days, it remained a one-off. Nevertheless, it was taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and retired in 1933. The locomotive had a superheated steam engine. The copy was scrapped after being taken out of service.
