Prussia was always striving for rationalisation, so that in the late 1910s, proven design principles were used for the construction of a new tender locomotive. Parts of the traction unit and running gear were taken over from the tried and tested G8.1 with a few changes. The new locomotives were incorporated as the T14 series. A total of 457 units were built for the Prussian State Railway. Subsequently, the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine also ordered 40 locomotives of this type. After the Second World War, the 93.0-4 class was scattered across Europe. Freshly repaired, they were put back into service in Poland, Belgium and Austria as well as in divided Germany. The DB used its machines until 1960, with the Limburg depot and the lines between the Lahn, Dill and Sieg being their last refuge. The DR continued to use the locomotives until 1971, especially in and around Berlin, where they were used mainly for goods trains.The model has TT close couplings!
