Six units of the type were built,[3] of which three were bought by the Danish State Railways (DSB) and designated Class MH, numbered 201–203. These formed the basis for the 120 locomotives MH 301–420, built by Danish company Frichs without licence from Henschel.[4] The other three units were purchased by different German industrial railways.
