8171 has a maker's plate of a type I hadn't seen until 2003, and is I assume "home made" showing Nr 107 of Stendal works!. And instead of a cabside number, it carried a painted plate"Manfred".
Bright sunshine allowed photography of some details including wheel numbers, front couplings and front lights.
The lok was parked in the open on the track previously serving the mill. More info at their website.
52 8171-2 | rebuilt as 52.80 from 52 1514 at RAW Stendal 10/8/1966 | |
| originally built by Esslingen 4738 of 1943 | ||
| The history of the lok is confused. Some reports that it
was withdrawn to store from Bw Leipzig HbfSud as late as 3/95.
It was at sold to Herr Vedder July 1994 but without a tender and sited at Stassfurt before coming to Tambach. 24 September 2003 | ||
