Originally delivered to the DRB 1943-1945 as No. 52 221, whence it became ÖBB No. 152.221, later reverting to No. 52 221. In 1979 it was disposed of to Oswald Steam of Samstagern, Switzerland until, in 1992, being sold to the VVT at St Sulpice. Some believe the locomotive to be previously DRB No. 52 231, which is/was BMAG-Schwartzkoppf build No. 12021/1943 which is probably now scrapped ??
