The new Pacific Class 10 express steam locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn was expected, of course, to be elegant in both design and appearance. So the locomotive builders and the
Technical Joint Office of the Locomotive Industry (TGB) were invited to present various design variants. 36 were published.
The first proposal, from Maschinenfabrik Eßlingen, was an extremely dynamic-looking locomotive in a rust-red livery (like the class 05). Future colour schemes were discussed at meetings
of the Locomotive Committee between December 1955 and February 1956, but no decision was taken as to which designs should be chosen.
