The locomotives were capable of hauling trains with a total load of 1,200 tonnes, and 600 tonnes on steep ramps. Known as "Jumbo" due to their high tractive power, the steam locomotives were widely used in Germany and many other European countries. They could reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h forward and 50 km/h in reverse. From 1937, the majority of locomotives were ordered with welded tenders, but these were immediately replaced with older riveted tenders from express locomotives
