18 478
Number 18 478 (see infobox), stabled in Ulm was the last S 3/6 to be built in the state railway era (1918) and thus the last one also with a streamlined driver's cab (Windschneidenführerhaus). It found its way to Linz, where it was substantially restored by the Swiss, Serge Lory. Today this engine is in the ownership of the Bavarian Railway Museum (Bayerisches Eisenbahnmuseum) in Nördlingen. The locomotive was made operational again by the Meiningen Steam Locomotive Works (Dampflokwerk Meiningen) and was given a green state railway livery again and the original operating number 3673. From 1996, it could be seen on numerous specials.
The engine, temporarily painted in blue for advertising purposes under a contract from the firm of Märklin, has been stabled in Nördlingen since April 2004. In order to be used on future services, considerable work was necessary on the 87 year old locomotive, which still has its original boiler. The engine had a second roll out in June 2010 and is again certified for passenger trains.
