The locomotive was purchased from the company Lorentzen & Wettre in Christiania for 15,000 Reichsmarks / 13,390 crowns and, after delivery, was used from April 1908 for internal freight train operations on the Vestfjorddalsbane Mæl– Rjukan and on the steep Vemorksporet . It was equipped with an additional tank for water and an additional tank for coal.
In 1920 the short name of Rjukanbanen was changed from RB to Rj.B. changed, so that the ownership designation of the locomotive changed accordingly with the same company number.
