The full-size Bavarian PtL 2/2 is known by the nickname Glaskasten. These small steam locomotives were built from 1905 onward to carry passengers on local railway lines in Bavaria. The largely enclosed cab, with its large windows, gave the driver good visibility in all directions. The locomotives were designed for one-person operation, helping to reduce operating costs on local railway lines. After the founding of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, the locomotives it acquired were classified in Class 98.3.
