In total, only 10 models of this approximately 133 tonne tender locomotive were build for use on the so-called Höllentalbahn. The class 85 locomotives were therefore the heaviest tender locomotives used in Germany. Due to their traction force, these beefy looking tender locomotives were soon being operated on mountain lines.

The photographic paint is an unique paint applied by locomotive factories on special locomotives to achieve a better quality of photographs at that time. It consisted of washable (lime) paint and was only applied for photographic work.
