The published identity of this, now scrapped, locomotive is incorrect in the file! It should be, original DRB No. 44.115 that was delivered coal-fired shortly prior to the start of WW2, i.e. on 17 February 1939 and joined the DR post-war fleet in thar guise until being called duing the winter of 1964/5 into their Meiningen workshops for conversion to oil burning, then released as No.44.0115, later when computerised to become No. 44.0115-4. However, again at Meiningenin early 1982, it was re-convertedvto coal firiing, this time as a mobile heating locomotive (NHL) and served at Bw Hoyerswerda, upon being absorbed into DB during 1992 and regained its computer number of 044-115-4 before being scrapped at the depot.
