Naturally, an elegant appearance was also needed for the new Pacific express steam locomotive series 10 of the German Federal Railway. The locomotive factories and the Technical Joint Office of the Locomotive Industry (TGB) were invited to present various design variants. 36 of these ideas were published.
Proposal No. 1 from the Eßlingen machine factory presented an extremely dynamic locomotive in a rust-red paint finish (like the series 05). The future paint finish was discussed at the meetings of the locomotive committee from December 1955 to February 1956, but no decision could be made on one of these designs.
