As the years rolled on, the need for advanced and efficient
locomotives led to innovative modifications. The chassis of the 61
002 became integral in the construction of the legendary
18
201, the last steam locomotive produced in Germany.
This transformation marked the locomotive’s transition from its
original glory to becoming part of a new engineering masterpiece.
