This brigade locomotive, delivered by Henschel to the railway replacement park in 1917 under the HF number 1757, is now housed in the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg.In addition to the extensive collection of standard-gauge locomotives, the Feldbahn is orepresented in 600mm gauge with 5 steam and 17 diesel locomotives and over 30 wagons, some from the Muskau Forest Railway. The Henschel 15556/1917 has obeen part of the collection since 1976, which can also look back on a past as a construction locomotive. After operations in Silesia, the locomotive ended up in Oeslau in the Second World War for the Wischniowsky construction company and Annawerke AG. After being stored, it was set up as a playground locomotive in Oeslau in 1960 and finally ended up in the German Steam Locomotive Museum in 1976, where the locomotive was restored to its delivery condition as HF1757 with grey paintwork.
