Of course, an elegant appearance had to be found for the new Pacific express steam locomotive series 10 of the German Federal Railway. The locomotive factories and the Technical Joint Office of the Locomotive Industry (TGB) were invited to present various design variants. 36 of these ideas were published.
Proposal No. 1 from the Eßlingen machine factory presented an extremely dynamic locomotive in a rust-red paint finish (like the 05 series). At the meetings of the locomotive committee from December 1955 to February 1956, the future paint scheme was discussed, but no decision could be made in favor of one of these designs.
