In the 1960s, the Halle test institute needed another high-speed steam locomotive to test new passenger coaches. The new machine 18 201 was developed from the high-speed tender locomotive 61 002 and parts of the high-pressure test locomotive H 25 024. A modified new boiler from the 22 series with an extended smoke chamber and Giesl ejector served as the steam generator. To ensure that the speed was maintained precisely when travelling at high speeds, the machine was equipped with a counter-pressure brake. High speeds meant up to 175 km/h, as the 18 201 was initially approved for this top speed - later 180 km/h - but only forwards.
