Ty23-273 (58.2505) was built as PKP-A No. Ty23-298, originally of gauge 1485mm. It came under DRB auspices in 1941 and, presumably, converted to Soviet Union broad gauge after WWII. It was back at the PKP in Gliwice from 1965 and, from 1972 was in the in the Polish far-east at Zurawica until being withdrawn in 1980. In 1990 it was taken to the open-air museum at Zdunska Wola Karsznice and from here, in 2012, to the Polish Association of Railway Enthusiasts, where it is plinthed at ul. Lowicka 1, 96-100 Skierniewice, Lódz
