    2944's sister engines are here: http://gigabyt.cal.pl/galeria8/tkh/galeriatkh.html

    They suffered a roof collapse, hence to dented cab roofs.

    One other TKh was scrapped before 2944, so originally the works allocation was 4.

    Before the roof at Pyskowice collapsed, because of heavy snow.

    About the TKh49. This was hardly ever used other than on drawings. Locos very rarely carried the ID TKh49, just simply TKh. The class was called Ferrum, which means Iron, and as they exclusively worked in Steel Works where the track was always tight and rough, Ferrum is a good name.

    Did 2944 work solely at Malapanew from construction in 1952 up until her preservation in the UK in the 90s (not got an exact year yet)?

    I think it was somewhere else. Didn't I post a page from the engine's book?
