The Mecklenburg Class G 4.2 operated by the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg Friedrich-Franz Railway was a goods train, steam locomotive with a compound engine. It was procured between 1901 and 1905 from Henschel and Linke based on the Prussian G 4.2 prototype. A total of five machines were built for Mecklenburg. It was planned that they would be taken over by the Deutsche Reichsbahn and were to have been given numbers 53 401 - 53 405 according to the 1923 provisional DRG renumbering plan. But they were retired by 1924 before the final plan was issued.
The vehicles were equipped with a Hartmann steam brake and had inside Allan valve gear. The engines were able to haul a 500 tonne train on an incline of 1:300 at 30 km/h.
In 1920 a G 4.2 was transferred from Prussia to Mecklenburg. It was given running no. 406 and would have become DRG 53 451.
