Story
After its working life at the German state railroad company the engine became a heating boiler. In 1978 it was placed on a pedestal together with a signal and a watertube in the city Aulendorf. During this time the engine was looked after by volunteers. In 2010 the city counsel sold the engine for 11.000 euro to the Historic Railwaypark Niederrhein Foundation. Their aim is to restore the engine in running condition.
