In 1972, several Class 110 locomotives were fitted with a more powerful 1200 hp diesel motor for testing purposes. This upgrade was necessary to enable their use in fast train services. Additional components were also adapted to the locomotives. Due to the positive test results, nearly 500 locomotives were subsequently converted to the more powerful Class 112 at the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk (railway repair works) in Stendal.
The locomotive that entered service with the Deutsche Reichsbahn in 1975 as 110 831 was rebuilt in 1988. After being withdrawn from service by the Deutsche Bahn in 1998 as 202 831, it was rebuilt by the company Alstom in Stendal. In 2008, the locomotive joined the fleet of the Havellandische Eisenbahn.
