The first delivery comprised 39 vehicles with two-cylinder, saturated steam operation, a further 100 two-cylinder compound locomotives followed in the period up to 1900.

The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over 8 engines from the first batch as Class 36.7, with operating numbers 36 701 to 36 708, and 76 of the second batch, with numbers 36 751 to 36 826.
