Towards the end of 1965 it went into Raw Stendal for re-construction as acRekolok, with new boiler No. 365/1965 from Raw Halberstadt, emerging from the former as No. 52 8154, upon computerisation in 1970 becoming No. 52 8154-8 until, in 1982, becoming a Heating-lok at Bw Bitterfeld and being withdrawn from there in 1991. With the 1992 merger with DB it was formerly given the computer number of O52 154-2 to be used from 010192, but on 23 March that year went to the EMBB, Leipzig in its last DR identity.
