The little T 3 tender locomotives were used for more than 65 years by the K.W.St.E and the DRG. They were adapted over this time to changing operating conditions. For example, almost all T 3s were fitted with larger shunting treads and tops on the coal box at the latest by the DRG. By the end of the Länderbahn era, the safety valves had already been moved on many locomotives to the centre of the tank between the domes. Despite the fact that decommissioning had commenced in the nineteen-thirties, a few T 3s went briefly to DB.
