Data from home.t-online.de/home/kopka.manfred/g2.htm; and "Pfälzische G 2.II" in Wikipedia at [], last accessed 1 October 2025.
Wikipedia states these engines combined characteristics of both the Bavarain C IV and Prussian 6-coupled locomotives. At least two of this class endured long enough to have been transferred to France's Nord after World War I.
The others all were withdrawn by 1927.
