Played with. The absence of smaller, delicate add-on parts cannot be completely ruled out. Function not tested. The S 3/6 of the Royal Bavarian State Railways was an express locomotive of the Pacific type with four-cylinder compound engine, built in 159 examples from 1908 to 1931, predominantly by J. A. Maffei in Munich, the last 18 by Henschel in Kassel; with the Reichsbahn it ran as class 18.4 to 18.5. The 3602 left the works in June 1908 as the second engine and kept its ochre primer for the Munich exhibition of 1908 because it could be photographed better that way; on the smokebox it bore the royal coat of arms. After the exhibition it received a green livery. The green model represents the 3673, an S 3/6 built in 1918, which today belongs to the Bavarian Railway Museum in Nördlingen and was in steam on museum runs until 2025.
