Based on:
After the second World War, around 700 examples of the class 38.10-40 (Prussian P 8) remained in the eastern sector of Germany (DR). It was not unusual for the P 8 to have a service age of over 50 years. Around 500 of these tenacious locos did actually reach this ripe old age. Even today, one can still see the last existing examples of the class 38.10-40 hauling special excursion trains.
