This indeed is recorded by Henschel as being built (or at least completed) iand delivered to Finnish (NOT Estonian Railways for which it was built). Haapamäki, is in Keuruu, Finland.

This indeed is recorded by Henschel as being built (or at least completed) and delivered to either Estonia or Finland (VR is Finnish Rail NOT Estonian Railways) for which it was built. I will pass on its coal/oil-fired status having not examined it at Haapamåki. I have it only working in Finland from 1945. .

The Henschel works list shows built in 1942 but the Stenvall book shows built 1941 and came to Finland at the end of 1942. Perhaps in the meantime rebuilt from oil to coal firing. Stored in 1960 and withdrawn 1964. It has never worked since so status should be display.

Originally built for Estonian Railways, it came to Finland in 1945 with three other members of the class as WW2 reparations, working on Helsinki suburban services.
