The locomotive T18-1002 was delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) in March 1929. By 1934 the locomotive had covered 60,000 km. And it was another one of German's Outings for a steam Turbine Locomotive after they built the Krupp-Zoelly Condensing Turbine Locomotive. This locomotive was a modified version of the Bavarian S3/6.

Background[]

The Locomotive was delivered to the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) in March 1929. Steam pressure was 323 lb/sqin. In spite of the higher boiler pressure the Maffei was less economical than the Krupp-Zoelly Condensing Turbine Locomotive.

Fate[]

It was withdrawn from active service after it was damaged by bombing in 1943. The boiler was used for safety-valve testing until it was scrapped in 1961.
