Delivery to KED Cassel - Royal Prussian and Grand Ducal Hessian State Railways, Directorate Cassel 5159. In 1924 this came under the newly created DRG and, in late 1925 was renumbered as 55 3345 until evolving into the Nazi DR in the same identity in early 1937. For the latter two years of WW2 it was based in Bielefeld followed by British/American Admin until September 1949 when released to the newly created DB in West Germany. It was computerised in 1968 as No. 055 345-3 and continued working until being withdrawn in 1970. The following year it was preserved by the DGEG, initially at Bochum-Dalhausen but latterly, since 2011, with SEMB - Stiftung Eisenbahnmuseum Bochum, Bochum, Germany.
