Another variation has emerged for this locomotive which is that it was produced by BMAG - Schwartzkopff No. 12492/1943, delivered to the DRB as No. 52 6051, serving with them until 1945 then, firstly, going to the SŽD as No. TE-6051. In 1962 it was acquired by the PKP as No. Ty2-1279 and was withdrawn from Elk where it languished for some time, prior to moving to its current location.

According to information I have, this locomotive is (contrary to the note posted by ILFORD, sorry) actually Krauss-Maffei AG, München-Allach No. 16704 (which is the same number as its original boiler) of 1943. After service with the DRB as No. 52 3597 (NOT No. 52.6051 which. I would agree, may have been manufactured by WLF in Wien, though I suspect BMAG) it ran with Soviet Railways as MPS TE 3567 until returned to the PKP in its current guise during the final months of 1962, being allocated to Leszno. It was withdrawn from Elk at the end of 2000. It was taken to Warsaw in 2014 and, two years later, to Gliwice where it is now domiciled in Blogoslawionego, Czeslawa 13, 44-100 Gliwice, Silesia
