This locomotive was delivered to the Hamra Railway, Tumba south of Stockholm, as their No. 5 ‘HAMRA’. It worked on various industrial sites on a line that closed in 1947, whence it went to a lime quarry on the Isle of Gotland where it worked for another ten years. It was saved from scrapping by the Swedish Railway Club who swapped in for another of similar scrap value. Renovated from 1961, it resumed service with new owners at Mariefred in 1969.
