History
The Class V V locomotives were a development of a predecessor design, the Class V. A new feature was the compound engine, which had already proved itself on the Prussian G 42.
In 1885 the locomotive "KÄNZLI" became the first unit to be delivered by the Sächsische Maschinenfabrik in Chemnitz to the Royal Saxon State Railways. Because the locomotives performed well, from 1887 to 1901 a total of 164 examples were built in three construction batches that only differed marginally from one another. Eleven locomotives of the second batch, with railway numbers 858 – 868 (new: 1001–1011) were built by Sigl in Vienna.
Another example was produced based on a boiler made for the

Technical features
The locomotives had a boiler made of three shells with a semicircular cover, which was in the area of the firebox between the frame plates. A notable feature was the large, rounded
. Like most Saxon locomotives the V V usually had a Krempen chimney, but several were also fitted with Kobel chimneys in order to be able to fire Bohemian brown coal.The steam engine was designed as a two-cylinder

The engines were given tenders of Saxon Class sä 3 T 5,65 or sä 3 T 7,5. The one delivered in 1920, No. 1000, had a Class sä 3 T 9 tender.
