The locomotives of the series kuk HB VI were hot steam Mallet - Tender locomotives with the wheel arrangement (1 'C) C in Bosnian gauge , which in 1918 by Henschel & Sohn for kuk Army train for Serbia came. In 1922, Henschel built another 30 machines as reparations delivery for Serbia. The railways of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SHS) designated the superheated steam mallets as SHS VIc7 , the Yugoslav State Railways (JDŽ) as JDŽ 92.

In 1917, the German Transport Technical Examination Board ordered the testing department of the military transport sector at Henschel & Sohn in Kassel 50 newly developed mallet Tender locomotives with Schmidt - superheater , where 20 copies were intended for use in Serbia. Since the construction of the new series, which was further developed from the Mallet tank locomotive SDŽ 500, took some time, until the end of the war - depending on the source - only one or two machines were delivered to Serbia and used on the routes around Zaječar .

After the war, more machines were taken over, so that a total of 19 of these superheated steam locomotives were added to the railways of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (SHS). They were used in Eastern Bosnia and Serbia and, together with other Mallet locomotives, were classified in the VIc7 series according to the BHStB series scheme. A second series of 30 machines followed in 1922 again from Henschel as a reparation delivery .

At the Yugoslav State Railways (JDŽ) the superheated steam mallets were given the designation JDŽ 92 in 1933 and proved themselves even better than their predecessors, the JDŽ 91 . They were largely used in Serbia until 1968. The last ones were still in operation in March 1970. The JŽ 92-043 has been preserved and is in the Požega Railway Museum .
