The complete locomotive only ran for DR NOT DB post-war prior to withdrawal in 1988. It was, however first reconstructed at AW Stendal, still coal-fired, leaving here in 1960 as No. 50.3591 (this intermediate identity being missing from the file), but was recalled here in 1966 for conversion to oil-firing, emerging then in its current guise, minus the computer check digit. DB only took over after the locomotive was withdrawn! from service.
