From 1920 onwards, the electric locomotives operated by the group headquarters in Bavaria had their bodies painted brown, with red or black wheels and engine parts. The same applied to the EG3-type freight tank locomotives which were delivered to Bavaria from 1924 onwards, and the EG3 locomotives which were delivered from August 1926 onwards. All 31 locomotives were based at the Munich Central Station depot. They were used for freight train services on the electrified lines departing from Munich.
