Tx-242 was HF Schöneberg: 522. The current (not original) boiler number is 14015 of 1916 (rather than the locomotive build number). Little is known of its employment prior to WWII but from 1945 it became ZKL Plociczno; from February 1954 ZKL Zagnansk and, from July 1955 ZKL Czarna Bialostocka as Tx-242. In the Spring of 1989 it was transported to Poznan, first stored at the tram depot at ul. Forteczna, then in a makeshift rolling stock warehouse in Malcie. In 2002 went for renovation to the Roolex Co.,Janikowo near Poznan and in 2007 was taken to Redcz Kruk. It is now known as Osrodek Transportu Lesnego TX-242 and on display at the Kujawy Museum of Arms, Science and Technology, Redecz Krukowy 8a 87-880 Brzesc Kujawski, Kuyavia-Pomerania
