Prototype: The locomotive, road number 01 2118-6 alias 01 118, has an especially prominent history for steam locomotives. Since first being put into service on December 18, 1934, it was operational uninterruptedly with the exception of all prescribed main overhauls and the down times associated with them.
In 1981, this unit was bought for "hard" Western currency by the Frankfurt Historic Railroad Association (HEF) and brought to the "West" (West Germany). From there it was underway in several regions as a museum locomotive (starting in 1991 again in the entire German Federal area) and it thus acquired a high level of recognition. This locomotive even had a guest spot at the CFL Steam Spectacle in Luxembourg. Frequently the locomotive was renumbered by the association to recapture in this way the various eras experienced by this unit.
On August 4, 2019, road number 01 2118-6 was brought to Battenberg (Eder) to the private museum of Dr. Martin Viessmann, and there it has been stored out of sight of the public.
