Prototype information
The legendary PtL 2/2 branch line locomotive, probably better known as the "Glaskasten" or "Glass Box", owes its nickname to the special design of the engineer's cab around the boiler. These units were suitable for single-man operation on account of their semiindependent self-firing, which made it inevitable that they would be used for light branch line work. Hence, the Glaskasten is suitable for passenger cars as well as for freight cars and mixed consists of passenger and freight cars.
