The Class D VI locomotives were procured for branch lines in flat terrain and had a maximum permitted axle load of 12 tons.

The final duties of former locomotive number 83, Berg (98 7508), delivered by Krauss in 1883, were in a peat factory in Raubling, where it was not taken out of service until 1964.

This locomotive is the only surviving example of its class and is in the care of the German Railway History Company (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Eisenbahngeschichte e. V. or DGEG).

The boiler was a riveted two-piece construction; the firebox, with its square cross-section, was arranged between the sole bars.

For the first time on Bavarian locomotives, running plates and Hardy vacuum brakes were installed on these saturated-steam engines.
