This was actually delivered to the Heeresfeldbahn, high command, Berlin with no recorded identity but possibly as its recorded works number (as others during WW2) of No. 25335? In 1946 it went to the Osterode-kreiensen Railway as their No. 7 where it was converted from 600mm to 750mm gauge and worked until 1955. In 1959 it went from here to Scrap Yard Kunze, Hannover and later procured by August Oppermann, Gravel Plant, Kassel-Waldau, also as their No. 7 but with the gauge reduced back to 600mm, as it worked until 1976. It later went to Gravel Plant Oppermann, Vogelbeck, Northeim and where it was in 2010.
