The photo above shows this 600mm gauge 0-4-0T circa 1985 in Mayen, Germany It was used for a time in the early 1990s at “Kleinbahn Adenau”, a light railway in Adenau, Germany. It has recently been sold into private hands, and will be returned to service on a light railway, near Bad Orb, Germany.
A few years back, John Gramling provided us with the photo of No. 49, shown below, taken when the locomotive was still at Rail City, in Sandy Creek, NY.

Dylan provided the following comments about the photo:
The engine is in good cosmetic shape, however I was unable to get better shots of the mechanical components. It appears that the cab fittings are still in place, but it is possible they are convincing replications. Currently, the engine is missing its saddle tank, and has seen a day of “hawaiianification”.
