Prussian P 3
In the genus P 3 the associated Prussian State Railways a very different types of locomotives. What they all had in common was the two driven axles.
From the class S 1 ( wheel arrangement 1B), the three locomotives Berlin 108, 121 and 122 , which were manufactured by BMAG in 1890 , were classified in class P 3. They received the new operating numbers Essen 1620 to 1622 .
When the new designation system was introduced in 1905, the 1B n2 locomotives of the so-called older normal design were classified in class P 3 according to sample sheets 15 and 16 with a boiler pressure of 12 bar. They received the course number range 1601 to 1700.
When the new designation system was introduced in 1905, the 1B n2 locomotives of the so-called Ruhr-Sieg type with a boiler pressure of 12 bar were classified in class P 3. They were given the train numbers Erfurt 1701 to 1704 .
When the new designation system was introduced in 1905, two B1 n2 locomotives of the standard design type III 3b were classified in class P 3.
In the genus P 3.1 1B n2 locomotives of more recent design according to the normal pattern sheet III1 were classified. The class P 3.2 was reserved for composite locomotives according to the pattern sheet III1a.
In addition, three locomotives of the type 2'B n2v procured for the Moselbahn in 1891, two 1B n2v locomotives of the Marienburg-Mlawka Railway, which was taken over in 1905, and thirteen 1'B1 'locomotives of the Hessian Ludwigsbahn were classified in the class.

The P 3s with the axle formula 2'B were passenger locomotives of the Cöln Railway Directorate on the left bank of the Rhine of the Prussian State Railways . The construction was derived from the later P 3.2 . The main difference to this was the front two-axle Bissel bogie. They were procured for the winding routes of the Eifel- and Moselbahn , as it was hoped that the front bogie would reduce wear on wheel flanges and rails . The three locomotives were delivered by Henschel in 1891 . First they had the train numbers Cöln on the left bank of the Rhine 319 - 321, then Saarbrücken 319 - 321, then Saarbrücken 400 - 402 and finally P 3 Saarbrücken 1651-1653 and were retired by 1912.
The vehicles were traveling with a Tender equipped to type 3 T 10.5.

The later P 3 of the Hessian Ludwig Railway was an express locomotive with the axle formula 1'B1 ', which is rare in Germany for locomotives with a tender. She was largely identical to the Palatine P 2.I . The front running axle was combined with the first coupling axle to form a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie, the rear running axle was in an outer frame. A total of 13 locomotives of this type of locomotive were built for the Hessian Ludwigsbahn and 22 for the Pfalzbahn . The Hessian locomotives were delivered by Krauss (six pieces) in 1893/94 and by Hanomag (seven pieces) in 1895/96 . When they were taken over by the Prussian State Railways, the locomotives were given the train numbers Mainz 300 - 312, and from 1906 onwards P 3 Mainz 1751–1763. In contrast to the Palatinate locomotives, none of these locomotives came to the Reichsbahn.
The machines were a Tender equipped to type 3 T 11.8.

The P 3.2 was a composite locomotive and was particularly noticeable because of the position of the cylinders between the barrel axle and the first driving axle. The railway staff called the locomotive the camel because of its unusual appearance with the steam dome and the steam pipe behind it via the boiler . The locomotive was a further development of the Prussian S 1 of the Hanoverian design. It was initially used in express train traffic on the Frankfurt / M. - Bebra and generally used in passenger train traffic. A total of 128 of these locomotives were built by the companies Henschel and Hanomag for the Prussian State Railways , which were used almost exclusively in western Prussia .
Other railways also received locomotives of this type:
- Werra Railway : three pieces, taken over by the Prussian State Railways
- Royal Prussian Military Railway : one copy
- Lübeck-Büchener Railway : eight pieces
After the establishment of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1920, three P 3.2s were transferred to the Schwerin General Management. They were given the numbers 151 to 153 (Cassel 1753, 1755, 1762) according to the Mecklenburg numbering plan.
At the Deutsche Reichsbahn, 37 vehicles were included in the 1923 redesignation plan , which were to be given the numbers 34 7101–7134 and 34 7351–7353 (Schwerin Directorate), but they were retired before the redesignation.
The vehicles were equipped with type pr 3 T 10.5 tenders .

The later P 3 of the Marienburg-Mlawka Railway was a composite-type passenger locomotive. In contrast to the other composite passenger locomotives in Prussia, the cylinder was in front of the front axle. The boiler was also significantly higher than in the other P 3. The two locomotives were built by Schichau in 1896. After the nationalization of the Marienburg-Mlawka Railway in 1903, they were given the railway numbers Danzig 475 and 476. From 1906 they were then referred to as P 3 Danzig 1701 and 1702. In 1918 they were relocated to the Elberfeld Directorate and were given the train numbers Elberfeld 1639 and 1640.
