In 1878 the Kolomensk Machine-Building Plant, taking as a basis the locomotive of the type 0-4-0 of the L-series of the Nikolaevskaya Railway, built by the Kessler factory, redesigned its design and created the design of the locomotive of the factory type 24. Since 1879 the plant began to build such locomotives for the Urals Gornozavodskaya railway, where they received the designation series B. In 1881 for this road the plant produced locomotives No. 178 - 186 with the side of Stephenson. In the following year, 1882, replacing the Stephenson link with Allen's curtain, the plant produced 30 steam locomotives for the Catherine Railroad, which received the designations D101-D130 (since 1902 D276-D305). In 1883 and 1884, The plant built 10 and 5 of the same locomotives, respectively, for the Moscow-Ryazan and Ryazan-Kozlov railways, which received the designations Ak211-Ak220 and T401-T405. In total, Kolomna Machine Building Plant produced 77 steam locomotives of the type 24.

Having made improvements to the design of steam locomotives of type 24, the Kolomensky plant created a project of a locomotive of factory type 31. Under a contract with the Railroads Department of September 2, 1883, the plant at the end of the same year produced 5 such steam locomotives for the Catherine Railroad that received the designations D96-D100 From 1902, D271 - D275).

Unlike locomotives of the type 24, locomotives of the type 31 had a number of smoke tubes reduced from 212 to 210, reduced from 5,029 to 4,965 mm the distance between the tube grids, two horizontal Friedmann injectors No. 9 instead of the Shaw injectors, a screw drive at the reverse and enlarged from 45, 7 to 48.4 tons of coupling mass (see Table 2.8 below). There were other less significant changes.

The coupling mass of locomotives of type 31, at which the static nominal load from wheel sets on rails was 12.1 tons, allowed them to work on tracks with rails of 30.2 kg / m, widely used at that time on the railways of Russia.

After testing a new locomotive on state railways, the Ministry of Railways found it expedient to produce such locomotives for public and private railways. The locomotives were named locomotives of the "government reserve". These locomotives for defense purposes were supplied with all state railways of the western strip of Russia.

Locomotive type 31 Kolomna plant built in the period 1883 - 1891 years, in 1886, they also produced Maltsevsky plant in Lyudinovo (Table 2.5), for which it was the last year of production of steam locomotives.

In total, Kolomna and Maltsevsky plants built 499 steam locomotives of type 31 (Figures 2.9 and 2.10), and shown in Fig. 2.9 the locomotive was the thousandth locomotive produced by the Kolomna plant.
