The two-cylinder engines of class 01 are considered the first express train locomotives to be produced according to the standard construction programme. The first construction lots had leading wheels with a diameter of 800 mm and were approved for a maximum speed of 120 km/h. Later models, starting from 01 102, were equipped with 1.000 mm leading wheels and reinforced brakes, allowing for an increased maximum speed of 130 km/h. The golden age of the class 01 locomotives began in 1934 with the summer timetable. The high level of commitment and performance expected from them in the following years posed significant challenges for both the locomotives and the personnel. After the Second World War, these standards were not achieved again until the introduction of electric locomotives and large-scale diesel locomotives. In 1935, locomotive 01 200 was transferred from Henschel to the Hof depot, and from there it was called upon to haul fast and express trains between Bamberg and Hof on the Schiefen Ebene line.
