In addition to standard locomotives, there were also 285 G 3s that were not built to German state railway norms, because they had been built, in most cases, before the foundation of the Prussian state railways.
Neben den Lokomotiven der Normalbauart gab es auch 285 G 3, die nicht den Normalien entsprachen, da sie zumeist vor der Gründung der Preußischen Staatseisenbahnen gebaut worden waren.
