Delivered in 05/1944 to the DRB - Deutsche Reichsbahn as No. 52 2751 that in 07/1947 was in the hands of the MPS - Ministerstvo putej soobšcenija, Soviet Union in the same guise. It was not until 08/1952 that it was registered and renumbered into the RŽD fleet as T?-2751 though this was returned a decade later to the DR - Deutsche Reichsbahn in its original identity, until 1970 when computerised as No. 52 2751-7. It was taken iut of traffic in 1985 and officially withdrawn the following year. In 1987 it first went as art antique to Kunstverein Mythos Berllin, afterwards as a memorial outside Theater Marl, Marl, Germany - installed lying on its back as "La Tortuga", part of the art object of the artist Vostell.

The certificate on this locomotive had run out in 1980 and during that decade, an artist decided to display the machine in an inverted position in protest of what had gone on in World War 2. In my mind this project is thought as unjust and completely disrepectfully ludicrous and I´m certain that others will share my opinion.
