The vehicle with the number 64 of Localbahn AG (LAG) from Munich was built for the meter-gauge Walhalla-Bahn between Stadtamhof and Donaustauf , later to Wörth an der Donau .

The locomotive was equipped with a control of the type Heusinger with piston valves. It was the first superheated steam locomotive on the Valhalla Railway. It had high sand - and just such a steam dome . The drive took place on the third axis. In order to guarantee the arcuate mobility, the fourth set of coupling wheels could be moved sideways by 20 mm, and the wheels of the second coupling axle were designed without flanges. The boiler was arranged unusually high for a narrow-gauge locomotive; the middle of the boiler was 2100 millimeters above the top of the rail.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the vehicle in 1938 and gave it the number 99 261. On the Walhallabahn, the locomotive was mainly used in freight train service; the freight trains consisted of both meter-gauge freight cars and standard-gauge freight cars on roller stands. The locomotive was decommissioned on January 23, 1961, after operations on the Walhalla Railway had been switched to diesel locomotives the year before , and scrapped shortly afterwards.

The locomotive could hold 1.2 tons of coal and 3.5 m² of water, the storage tanks were located on the side of the boiler.
