The Saxon Class Vs were German, six-coupled, goods train, tender locomotives operated by the Royal Saxon State Railways.
They were the predecessors of the Saxon Class V V. Between 1859 and 1887 they were delivered in three batches of 24, 31 and 118 engines. They had an overhanging outer firebox (locomotive), firebox and a steam dome. They had different types of valve gear; Allan valve gear, Allan, Gooch valve gear, Gooch and Stephenson valve gear all being used at different stages. The first batch had ''Dampfschlitten'' brakes, the second steam-operated brake blocks and the third had Westinghouse compressed-air brakes.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over 11 machines, which were given the numbers 53 8201 to 53 8211, and all were withdrawn from services by 1927.
