Palatine T 4.I

The development of these engines had been based on the second batch of Bavarian D VIII engines and they differed only in a few dimensions: for example, the diameter of the carrying and coupled wheels was smaller.

In 1908 and 1910 Krauss supplied two batches, each of four locomotives, which were now designated the Palatine D VIII.

These differed in having a larger fuel tank and a higher maximum boiler pressure: 13 as opposed to 12 bar.

In 1925 the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over all 15 locomotives and grouped them together with the Bavarian D VIII into DRG Class 98.6.

The first group was retired by 1940, the second survived to join the Deutsche Bundesbahn fleet.
