In the 1960s, the Halle Research Institute needed another high-speed steam locomotive to test new passenger cars. The new engine 18 201 was created from the high-speed tank locomotive 61 002 and parts of the high-pressure test locomotive H 25 024. A modified new boiler from the 22 series with an extended smoke chamber and Giesl ejector served as the steam generator. In order to precisely maintain the speed when driving quickly, the machine was equipped with a counter-pressure brake. Fast travel meant up to 175 km/h, because the 18 201 was initially approved for this top speed - later 180 km/h - although only forwards.
