I have this as MBA 14373/1944 as DRB 52 7786 or MBA 14376 as DRB 52 7789 to the DRB by the MBA successor to O&K from their Potsdam-Babelberg/Drewitz plant. The former went to the CSD in 1945 in the same identity and, in 1952, the Soviet MPS in Finland re-numbered this as TE-7786. In 1963 it became Hungarian MÁV No. 520.O55, and survived until 1972. On the other hand, that relating to 14376/1944 became No. 52 7789 that went to the newly formed DR in 1945 in the same identity, and also the MPS, Finland in 1947, then becoming the Soviet RŽD No. TE-7789 in 1952. It returned to the DR in 1962, bearings its original number, before in 1965 being summoned to Raw Stendal for reconstruction with, among other items, was futted with Raw Halberstadt boiler No. 32323/1965, emerging as Rekolok No. 52 8132, and being computerised in 1970 as 52 8132-4 and running thereafter until 1990. In 1993 it went to Bernd Falz, initially at Bw Basdorf, then in 1996 at Alter-Lager and finally in 2001 at Falkenberg.
