Delivered to heavy industry Sulzer in Winterthur and 19xx to industrial company Monteforno in Bodio. The locomotive was decommissioned in 1967. The locomotive came 197 times to the Bern Steam Railway Association, which wanted to refurbish the locomotive to make it operational. After dismantling it was deemed no longer repairable, the machine was then parked for a planned museum in Belp. After 13 years of living outdoors, she finally arrived at the Vapeur Val-de-Travers (VVT) association in very poor condition. After the two-year overhaul, the machine is operational again. Due to the lack of air pressure brakes and the top speed being too low, the locomotive is not approved for use on the route. It therefore only serves as a shunting locomotive in the St-Sulpice depot.
