Between 1890 and 1897, the LAG received 13 compound 2-6-0T tank locomotives from Krauss. They received numbers between 17 and 49. Four of these went to the LAG's subsidiary Lausitzer Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (LEG) in today's Poland. For better guidance on secondary lines, they had a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie that combined the leading and the first driving axle. Aside from these, two simple locomotives were built which were numbered 27 and 28 and were otherwise similar. Additionally, two heavier compound locomotives were built in 1900 which were numbered 59 and 60.

In 1903, No. 18 was rebuilt with the Schmidt smoke tube superheater and tested with very good results, but remained the only one. In 1917, two of 13 locomotives were sold to the BASF. When the LAG was nationalized and integrated into the Reichsbahn in 1938, the Bavarian locomotives became class 98⁷³, while the locomotives of the LEG became class 98⁷⁴. From the eleven Reichsbahn locomotives, the ten remaining ones came to the Bundesbahn after World War II. They were retired between 1946 and 1950.
