Further to Dale's note (below). Investigation shows that the loco in the Technical Museum in Berlin is number 78, but carries works plates and number plates appropriate to Number 83. Confusing indeed.

One of the delightful narrow gauge Garratt locos built in Germany for South African Railways.

To see one in action in Europe, visit the Welsh Highland Railway at Caernarfon or Porthmadog and experience an extended ride through the beautiful mountainous landscape of Snowdonia.
