Locomotives for branch line service were not initially included in the DRG's standardized type program because the acquisition of new main line locomotives enjoyed a priority. New construction of the classes 24 (with a tender), 64, and 86 branch line units was not decided until later. The first 17 units of the class 24 were delivered in 1928 by Schichau (24 001-010) and Linke-Hofmann (24 031-037). A year later 69 units of these 90 km/h / 56 mph fast and 900 horsepower locomotives were already running in the districts of Stuttgart, Stettin, Schwerin, Regensburg, and Münster. The class 24 was in many ways similar in construction to the class 64 2-6-2T tank locomotive. The boiler placed well to the front due to the more favorable weight distribution was striking. This caused the smokestack to be offset from the cylinders compared to the other standard design locomotives. The last of the 95 units of the class 24 were not taken until 1940. At the end of the Thirties most of these locomotives went to East Prussia and ran there on long branch lines. This resulted in their nickname "Prairie Pony". It was thus no wonder that after World War II almost half of the class 24 remained outside of the two German states. The later German Federal Railroad had 42 units overhauled.One conversion after the war attracted particular attention: The Testing Institute (PA) for Locomotives and Powered Railcars in Göttingen was looking for a lightweight passenger locomotive in 1948 for test runs. The PA struck it rich in Husum with road number 24 061 stored there. During a main overhaul it was given a four-axle type 2’2’T26 tender instead of the usual three-axle tender to extend its operating range. Starting in March of 1949, this locomotive (length over the buffers 19,380 mm / 63 feet 6 inches, weight 107 metric tons) was used for testing and gave marvelous results. Praise was given above all to the locomotive's smooth running which was also due to the four-axle tender. In August of 1953, this unit had to go back into regular service. This one of a kind was retired in November of 1962 at Lübeck. The use of the class 24 locomotives on the DB concentrated in the North and chiefly in the Western part of the country. Rail busses and new diesel locomotives made life for the locomotives in passenger service increasingly harder with the beginning of the Sixties. As early as 1965 and 1966 the last five units were therefore put into storage at the railroad maintenance facilities in Rahden and Rheydt. The retirement of road number 24 067 by the railroad maintenance facility in Rheydt on August 19, 1966 effectively ended this chapter on the DB.

The unique locomotive now designated as road number 08 1001 went first to the maintenance facility at Berlin East Station after being completed in July of 1952. Here it was scheduled to pull the D 13/14 pair of express trains to/from Stralsund with the start of the winter schedule on October 5, 1952. The records of locomotive supervisor Specht at the maintenance facility at Berlin East Station reveal the following: On October 8, the unit came early from Leipzig and hauled the D 13 to Stralsund without maintenance. Despite "bad" powdered coal, the steam generation was good. Like the run out, the run back also occurred without problem. Another run on October 10 also gave no cause to complain and locomotive supervisor Specht noted: "Best steam generation. Bunkers 2+3 were still about 80 cm / 31 inches full on arrival in Stralsund." After transfer to the FVA in Halle in February of 1953, intensive test and measurement runs were done that resulted in many new findings.

After delivery of four test locomotives for the new class E 03 (starting in 1968: 103.0) in 1965, regular production was taken up starting in 1969 for the InterCity service (IC 71) planned to start in 1971, but with a new specification sheet. The loads for TEE and IC trains at 200 km/h / 125 mph increased from 300 to 480 metric tons and 800-ton ordinary express trains (D-Züge) were still expected to run at 160 km/h / 100 mph. On the 145 production locomotives – now designated as the class 103.1 – the basic design of the locomotive with the bridge frame, body consisting of five segments, and the three-axle trucks was focused on the prototypes. The same end shape could also be taken from the test locomotives. Externally, the most striking thing was the doubling of ventilation inlet openings by a second, five-part row of vent grills in the lower half of the side walls, caused by a greater cooling air supply due to the locomotives' increased performance. With a main transformer adjusted for maximum performance (continuous tractive performance of 6,250 kilovolt amps / 8,378 horsepower) and extremely beefed-up type WBM 368/17f lightweight traction motors with a continuous rating of 1,240 kilowatts / 1,662 horsepower, the result was a full increase in performance of 25.3% compared to the prototypes – all total an impressive 7,440 kilowatts or 10,116 horsepower. The last thirty units (road numbers 103 216-245) were given a 700 mm / 27-1/2 inch extension in the frame with enlarged cabs in order to realize the expansion of the cabs urgently requested by the crews. After delivery in the years 1970 to 1974, the class 103.1 units immediately took over the new IC trains as well as of course the prestigious TEE trains that had even been partially integrated into the new IC network.In the beginning the production locomotives up to road number 103 215 were equipped with type DBS 54a two double arm pantographs with type WB 15 Wanisch contact strips as well as upper arm dampers. These special type units were designed for 200 km/h / 125 mph but did not turn out particularly well long term and caused catenary damage in the DB network as well as that of the ÖBB. It was assumed that the cause was contact pressure above the permissible 120 kilo newton. An interim solution was initially just a partial exchange with the standard type DBS 54 with a standard contact strip, all of it designed for a maximum of 160 km/h / 100 mph. By contrast, the last 30 units (road numbers 103 216-245) came from the builder with the type SBS 65 single arm pantograph that had been developed in the meantime. Now road numbers 103 101-215 should also have been equipped with these single arm pantographs, but the industry could not deliver such a quantity under such short notice. The DB thus decided on an unconventional path and had the "old" DBS 54 and the still present DBS 54a units of the first production locomotives replaced starting in 1975/76 by the type SBS 65 single arm pantograph that was just being delivered on the class 111 that was only 150 km/h / 94 mph fast. Several class 103 units were also equipped with the further developed type SBS 67 that differed from the SBS 65 only in a wider spacing of the contact strips (400 instead of 350 mm / 15-3/4" instead of 13-3/4").
