As previously mentioned, the locomotive was originally to be built as BLW 15890 but was delivered by Henschel in 07/1944 to the DRB - Deutsche Reichsbahn as No. 52 793 and leased a mere two weeks later to OKH - High Command of the Army, Berlin use by GTrSO - Office of the General for Transport Southeast, Belgrade, Serbia in the same identity before being returned to the DR - Deutsche Reichsbahn, in 1946 last based at Bw Schwerin. In 1947 it went to the MPS - Ministerstvo putej soobšcenija, Soviet Union, again in the same identity and which was not renumbered until 08/1952 as T?-793. Twelve years later, in 1964, it returned to Yugoslavia, on this occasion to what became Bosnia & Herzegovenia, and the coal mine company Kreka, Tuzla as No. 33-504 based on the then JŽ system. It has subsequently long been stored, operational but stored again by 2020.

The locomotive was actually ordered as Borsig 15890 but, due to circumstances at the time, was delivered to the DRB lin its Henschel & Sohn guise late in WW2. It later went to Bukinje.

On a visit in 2016 it was found that 33.504 has been resurrected. Compare the album photo with the more recent one.
