Story
This is a very typical engine due to the vertical placement of the boiler. The very small wheels give a very powerfull torque, very suitable for shunting activities. She got a revision in 1981, but was put out of service in 2003, due to running out of the boiler-permit. In 2005 an overhaul started. Nowadays the engine is back at service, painted green.
