This DMU was originally called SVT 137 277 (type "Köln") and had three cars. When restoring it in the sixties, LHB erroneously gave it the number "137 851 abc". The colours are original as in the DRG area, the rounded cab windows however are a modification by the DB in the fifties. Only the two end cars of this train are preserved.
