   • 1960 September, P. Ransome-Wallis, “Modern motive power of the German Federal Railways: Part One”, in Trains Illustrated, page 553:

     There are 105 D.B. Type "23" engines and they were intended to replace the famous Prussian "P8" class 4-6-0s (Type "38"), but dieselisation prevented further construction and they are greatly outnumbered by the thousand or so "P8s" which are still in service and which can be seen on a great variety of duties.
