Information about the prototype

The Bavarian class S 3/6 express locomotive is one of

the most popular steam locomotives for many railroad fans.

According to the Bavarian shorthand for locomotive classi-

ﬁcation this is a fast passenger locomotive with 3 powered

axles and a total of 6 axles. The axles on the tender are not

counted in this classiﬁcation method.

The S 3/6 incorporates three advantages. It was more

than just successful and very elegant in its appearance; it

also shined with both very good running characteristics as

well as prototypical efﬁciency. It was therefore no wonder

that this model was continuously reﬁned and developed

further even by the German State Railroad in a version that

was purchased up to 1931.

After World War I a group of these Bavarian locomotives

were transferred to the French and Belgian railroads. This

successful design thereby became well known far beyond

the borders of Bavaria.

In addition to the variations resulting from various eras for

this locomotive in Bavarian provincial railroad, German State

Railroad and German Federal Railroad color schemes, there

are also yet other special ver-sions that are well known and

favorites among railroad fans.

One of the most popular special variations of the S 3/6

is the version that was used on the German State Railroad

on the point of the famous “Rheingold” deluxe train. The

paint and lettering scheme on this version was changed to

correspond to the high quality level of this train.

There are chieﬂy 2 special versions known from the

Bavarian era. The one is the ochre colored version for the

Bavarian royal train. No less impressive is the blue version

that was put on display at an exhibition in Munich at the

beginning of the 20th century.

In 1960 the last unit of the original S 3/6 version with

the slanted engineer’s cab was retired. Later versions were

taken out of service by the end of the 1960s.
