All 80 locomotives survived the Second World War and entered service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The last engine of this class, number 38 432, ran in Bavaria and Upper Swabia and was taken out of service in 1955. The vehicles were coupled with a Bavarian 2′2′ T 21,8 tender.
Three further locomotives of this type were procured by the Prussian state railways in 1910 and were designated as the Prussian Class T 2. In 1911 and 1914 two further batches of nine and four locomotives were supplied to the Royal Bavarian State Railways. On these, the jackshaft was left out and the wheelbase reduced from 3,200 mm to 2,700 mm.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 52 [note 1] is a German steam locomotive built in large numbers during the Second World War. It was the most produced type of the so-called Kriegslokomotiven or Kriegsloks (war locomotives).
The last locomotives (18 622 and 18 630) were taken out of service in 1965 in Lindau and scrapped in 1966. By contrast number 18 612 is preserved in the German Steam Locomotive Museum (Deutsches Dampflokomotiv-Museum) where it can be viewed. The unmodified S 3/6 engines were all withdrawn by 1962, apart from 18 505.
Around 30 steam locomotives may be seen, including a Bavarian S 3/6 express engine, a Bavarian PtL 2/2 (a tiny tank engine known as the Glaskasten, literally: 'glass box', the only complete surviving member of its class), a Prussian P 8 passenger train engine and a Saxon XIV HT.
The Pt 2/5 N is a passenger train tank engine (Personenzugtenderlokomotive) with 2 coupled axles and a total of 5 axles – i.e. 3 carrying axles – using wet or saturated steam (Naßdampfausführung.)
