Originally delivered to the DRG as Kriegslok No. 52 3455, it continued in this identity with the occupying SBZ 1945-1949, and from then with the ‘new’ DR, until it was re-built (probably at RAW Stendal) with a more powerful boiler 1958-1962 and emerged as No. 52 8044. It left service at the end of 1993, being ‘saved’ by B Falz (the German ‘Dai Woodham’ and initially being placed in the sidings at Basdorf before being moved into his collection in the former freight depot of Bw Falkenberg.
