In the "Railway Technical Exhibition" of 1924 held in Seddin, out of the 20 steam engines on show, the star of the show was undoubtedly the "BAVARIAN S 3/6 3709". Her fancy blue dress with golden details made of polished brasswork is still regarded by railway fans even today as the height of design signified by the railways of the time.
