The image is a digital retouch. Operating notes: The locomotive can be used on curved tracks from a radius of 261.8 mm, but larger radii are recommended. Due to the overhang of the long boiler, signals, overhead line masts, bridge railings, tunnel portals, etc., must maintain a sufficient distance from the track curve. The track must be securely fixed due to the high weight of the locomotive. Turntables and traversers can only be operated in through position.
