In the 1960s, the Halle Research Institute needed another high-speed steam locomotive for testing new passenger cars. The new engine 18 201 was created from the high-speed tender locomotive 61 002 and parts of the high-pressure experimental locomotive H 25 024. A modified new-build boiler from the Class 22 with an extended smokebox and Giesl ejector served as the steam generator. To ensure precise speed control at high speeds, the machine was equipped with a counter-pressure brake. High speed meant up to 175 km/h, as the 18 201 was initially approved for this top speed – later 180 km/h – but only in forward motion.
