Just after posting the first e-mail, I realised that 230.040 had also been identified as Danzig 2414. My information came from the book Die preußische P8 - die Baureihe 38, written by HansJürgen Wenzel (EK Verlag, 1994, ISBN 3-88255-140-2), specifically in a section dealing with locos in Romania. Otherwise, the only 2414 that is not accounted for seems to be Schwartzkopff 6553 (1917), which was MGD Brüssel 2414 and might possibly have ended up in Romania after World War 1, though I have no information on that. Of course, both reports might be correct as it seems that Königsberg 2407 carried both 230.050 and 230.039 at various times, according to one of your other records.

This loco was ex-Danzig 2414, probably Schichau 2406 of 1916. Danzig 2413/5 were Schichau 2405/7, both of which ended up with PKP after World War 1 (source: Ingo Hütter und Reimar Holzinger: Die Lokomotiven der PKP 1918 - 1939. DGEG, 2007.)
