Oh dear! Whilst the locomotive depicted in the centre of Station Boulevard, Kicevo, MACEDONIA (rather than Madagascar!) is an 0-8-0T bearing the (stenciled) number 99-04-025. It is, I understand, actually ex JŽ 600mm (NOT 760mm) No. 99-04-053 (Henschel & Sohn, Kassel 15079/1917) suppied to the Skopje - Ohrid railway German Army built to feldbahn standard during the First World War and closed in 1966. There is, or was, an actual No. 99-04-025 (Vulcan 3129 /1917) preserved in the country, initially at Lisice depot, Skopje and later at the site of the former Pioneer Railway but its location is currently unknown.
