With almost 4,000 units produced, the Prussian P 8, later classified as class 38, went down in history as one of the largest steam locomotives of all time in terms of number. After the turmoil resulting from the two World Wars, they were used by almost all European railway administrations. Ultimately five locomotives remained in Austria and formed ÖBB class 638.
