To meet rising demands for passenger and express train services, the Prussian State Railways developed the P8-type passenger locomotive. By 1923, German factories alone had built more than 3,700 examples of this versatile, triple-coupled locomotive. The steam locomotive, later designated Class 38 10-40, had an output of 880 kW, weighed approximately 130 t including the tender with full supplies, and was authorised to travel at 100 km/h forwards and 50 km/h in reverse.
Repainting the DRG's large locomotive fleet in the new standard black-and-red livery naturally took time. Consequently, many locomotives continued to appear until around 1930 in the olive-green, reddish-brown, and black livery that had been in use until 1926, even though they already carried the new lettering.
