Prototype information
Branch Line Legend - The legendary DB class 98.3 (former Bavarian class PtL 2/2) branch line locomotives were seldom designated with their exact class number, because these nimble branch line units were much better known with the nickname "Glaskasten" ("Glass Box"). The comparably roomy engineer's cab is to thank for this affectionate name. The cab surrounded a large part of the boiler and its luxurious glassed in area gave the engineer a good view of the tracks in both directions. Partially automatic coal firing enabled economical one-man operation of these locomotives. This meant they were predestined for light weight branch line service. A last group of 13 units of this universally popular branch line locomotive was built starting in 1911 without a jackshaft as part of the running gear.
