The class B VI express locomotives were built starting in 1863 and were a further development of the class B V locomotives and yet their primitive appearance reminded one of the beginnings of railroading. The cab was open except for a roof, the only brake was on the tender, and accessory appliances were not present for the most part. Some of these units were initially fired with peat and had an immense balloon shaped smoke stack. Since the basic design turned out so well, a total of 107 locomotives were built into the 1880s and were constantly modernized. The "Tristan" locomotive for Ludwig II's royal court train was also derived from the powerful B VI family of locomotives.
This locomotive was produced as a one-time series only in 1998.
