In1957 it went to KWB Konin, the briquetting plant of Marants (as TKi3b-48, boiler ZNTK Wroclaw 14489/1955), being withdrawn at the end of the century. In 2004, following disassembly it was transported to MaLoWa in Benndorf (Germany). Apparently the steam tank was cut in Poland, the chassis was sold to Museums-Eisenbahn Minden e.V. and a T93 series steam engine with a new boiler, is to be rebuilt on the chassis, currently at Interlok, Zakopianska 1, 64-920 Pila, Greater Poland
