DR 52 8030

Part of the Bernd Falz Sammlung (collection) now stored at the former Bw Falkenberg oberer Eslter, most of the 52s sit in the yard, slowly deteriorating. There is one complete line of 52s, with two other lines with a mixture of 50s, 44s,22s and 52s. The Falkenberg site follows on sites at Basdorf and Juterbog Altes Lager.
At least at Falkenberg the diesel locomotives have been moved to the lokschuppe and one BR52 52 8170-4 cosmetically restored inside the building.
All locos seem to have a large red painted number on their cabsides which might be some form of index for their owner's use.

originally built by Maschinenbau und Bahnbedarf AG (MBA) formerly Orenstein & Koppel in Berlin 14091 of 1944.
