99731 was the first of 32 2-10-2T locos built for the pre-war Deutsche Reichsbahn for service on the various 750mm gauge lines in Saxony. Thanks to being reboilered in 1965, this loco was still in service from Zittau at the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and passed to the Sächsisch-Oberlausitzer Eisenbahngesellschaft, along with the lines to Jonsdorf and Oybin, in the mid nineties. Here it runs round at Kurort Oybin in June 2001, having arrived on the 13.39 departure from Zittau.
