Constant use on the Brünig Steam Railway Ballenberg until the electrification of route 194x; then parked and decommissioned in 1947. Taken over by private railway enthusiasts in 1965, the “Friends of the Steam Locomotive” company was founded in Kägiswil, which bought the locomotive in 1966 for 10,000 SFr. The club renovated the locomotive and made it operational again. Taken over in 1981 by the newly founded association “Association Pro Ballenberg-Dampfbahn” (since 2022 new name “Association Ballenberg Dampfbahn VBD”).
